Research Paper Reviews

The first draft of my research paper went as I thought it would. I found and researched many great things about my topic of Black History Month and actually learned a lot in the process. The actual writing of the paper was not as easy as I first predicted. The ability to come up with things to say was not what was hard for me, but actually arranging the data in a strategic and affective way was the real challenge. Knowing when to talk about what is what gave me much of my problems. After the writing process was complete, we had to complete, we had to complete peer reviews on other research papers. I actually learned more about my paper when I editied my peers' essays more so than I learned when reading what they about mine. Although reading what was said about my paper was very helpful, I actually understood my mistakes more when I read some of them in other people's works. By doing this, I actually realize what was wrong with their paper nad looked for similar mistakes in my own paper. I believe doing these peer reviews really helped me become a better writer. If we could do these more often, I believe my writing abilities will greatly increase.
