I agree with my peer’s statement that my introduction could be strengthened, and that my essay could use a rebuttal to refute the author’s claim. However, I do not agree that I properly used signal phrases. I will address my peer’s concerns by strengthening my introduction to captivate the reader’s attention, and will try to properly cite my quotations.

I believe peer reviews to be very helpful because there are imperfections in any article, especially before the final copy or publication. So, insight from fresh eyes, or an objective point of view, I feel, can only prove beneficial. It has been helpful for me in the past in various English classes because it highlighted things I could improve upon in my paper, and it reminds me to review my paper with an objective perspective. Peer review can sometimes be harmful if people give very negative and not constructive feedback. To ensure that I am offering constructive criticism, I will make sure to clarify my points (this is why, or how you can improve/ it would benefit from such and such).
