In the peer-review, the two things that helped me were someone stated that there wasn’t a clear counterargument. This helped me because in an argument essay, it’s important to know the opposing side of the argument you are making. I think it strengthens your argument, and helps the readers know you are aware of the things that go against your argument. The other thing that I learned from the peer review is the strength that sources and examples can add to the credibility of the argument. In my argument, I used examples but didn’t really support them with sources that were scholarly.
Some of the feedback that I gave that might have helped someone with their essay was some of the same advice that was given to me. Some times reading other people’s essays help you with the structure of your own and I think I learned more from reading other’s essays than critiquing their essay.
