Use peer review to your advantage. Do not simply view it as “busy work,” but as a way for you to benefit as well as your peer. Not only do you get the opportunity to help a peer better his/her efforts or revision his/her process, you also get to see your classmates’ techniques.
We don’t steal other writers’ words or ideas. That’s plagiarism. But we can steal their techniques. The more writing samples you read, the better your own paper will be.
