Q: Why does it take more than one student to evaluate, and correct another students writing?
I know for a fact two heads are better than one and four heads are better that two. We all can’t find the same mistake as any other can, so it takes another pair of eye’s to look over and undo the mistake taking place. Peer revision is established so that the reader is commenting and giving reactions as mentioned in Neubert & McNelis article. It also includes that as people we have different thoughts on how we hear, and interpret sounds. Based on the N&M, hearing another student speak out the writer’s article helps others identify different changes within the page. Criticizing is very important in how a group studies the writer’s page, much so, letting the writer know how many mistakes they have will really encourage them to go to the next level, thus, having them make changes on their own mistakes.
I agree, different points of view can really help a student make a paper seem more complete and easy to understand. Working with others can open your eyes.
