What is the purpose of peer revision, and

What is your perspective on them?

I believe that peer revisions exist because it’s another way for the professor to teach students how to give and receive constructive criticism. The writer gives their work to a peer who then goes over the work. The readers suggest some improvement and the writer considers and learns what another person thinks about their work. The professor may not necessarily be teaching them yet the professor knows what they are going to learn. Revisions are used to furthermore enhance the students writing. Some students they have done a great job yet they don’t realize that they are lacking some skills that students can share with them in order to improve their article. That’s why I believe peer revisions exist. In the article it is clearly stated that some professors dread the idea that students have peer revisions because of the naïve comments that they leave behind. One of the main reasons that students leave such comments behind is because they are not being attentive to the assignment in hand. Some students just want to get over the revision, but in reality, peer revision is not about who finishes quicker in the group. Peer revisions are about understanding the assignment in hand thoroughly and adequately. Even though most students just “blow off” peer revisions, they are still widely used by some. Those who do use them boast on the new found knowledge they acquired. I guess u can say that attending a peer revision and making your essay, paragraph, etc, is more or less like an ego booster. Like I said before, some may think that they have written a masterpiece, but when that “Masterpiece “ leaves the revision, the author knows that they can do, better; therefore they work on it and forget it into what they thought they once had.
