What is peer editing?
Prior to handing the paper in for grading by the instructor, each student will provide copies of his/her paper to the instructor in preparation for peer editing. Peer editing simply means one of the student’s classmates will have a chance to read the paper and provide constructive criticism regarding content and grammar. Each student is responsible for filling out an evaluation sheet for each paper he or she reads in order to provide adequate feedback to that paper’s author. Peer editing is very important, and most instructors count a student’s participation in the process toward the final course grade.
