[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and "peer editing"! That's my vent. Let's have those who don' know have their papers edited by those who know just as little! Well, at least the teacher doesn't have to do work.[/quote] I’m the teacher who teaches writing and posted last page. Honestly, I gave this a shot but it actually does suck. The kids don’t know how to write which means they don’t know how to instruct others in how to make their writing good. It ends up being a waste of time because they just say useless crap like “I really like it, it’s good.” Nothing meaningful or constructive. I decided halfway through this year I’m cutting peer review next year. MAYBE we can try it in 4th quarter when they’ve gotten my feedback enough to know what to look for but not before then. [/quote]
