Q&R 3

How does tutoring and peer response help you have better writing?

Personally, when someone revises my paper and gives me tips on what to do, I feel better. If I was feeling a little insecure about my writing, chances are, they will help you out to make the most out of your writing. Tutoring helps you because you can have a way better grasp on the subject you are writing about. It helps you become a better writer and more in touch with the subject you are writing about. In general, I feel that peer response helps students become better writers because they can point out the things that you missed and that you made unclear. They are, after all, your audience so if they get lost or don’t understand, it’s probably the same things that is going to happen to another reader. They have a firsthand experience of the reader. When the writer sees the revisions and comments from the peer revision, they can mold the writing to the way that the reader will understand. When the person who is revising uses the PQP method, the writer will feel better because they know that the person understands the point that they are trying to get across.
