1. What did you learn from your peer review projects about writing and editing in general?
I learned that I tend to catch grammatical errors. Also, I notice when a sentence needs to be restructured. I learned that poor transitions make it not only boring but difficult for the reader to get through the paper. I learned the importance of having headings for each section. It makes it much more difficult for the reader to realize where they’re at in the paper.
2. What did you learn from your peer review projects about your actual research project, specifically?
I learned that my research question is solid. I need to back up a statement in my opening paragraph. Also, I need to rethink my statement about companies capitalizing on the current wars the United States are involved in. I found out that both the flow of my paper and my grammar are great. I need to add more cliff hanger or ending statments. I need to rethink my title. Lastly, I need to clarify who my intended audience is.
