Both the teacher's comments and my groups comments mainly had to do with the lengths and explanations I had. Most were too short, but a few were too long, such as my Literature Review. While I did my best to incorporate these things, shortening the literature review would be a monumental task that would warrant a whole other paper. Instead, after re-reading it, I came to a conclusion that parts of the literature review are not actually parts of it at all, and are better catorigized as entering the conversation or as their own sections. Essentially, I added a few paragraphs giving better explanations and have fleshed out a few sections of the paper. I added a term or two to the terms list and did some basic sentence editing to make the flow of the paper much better.
The peer reviews went much better this time around. Everyone having a paper really made things much easier to deal with and my group pretty much finished all our work in one sitting. I had lots of praise for my paper, but what was critiqued included lack of explanation, short paragraphs, or extra long sections. After reviewing the sections in question, I agree. I will take action to get these to a better point that where they are at. This is what I consider to be the ideal critiquing group possible. Everyone is objective, unoffendable, friendly.
