Peer Review

On Wednesday, the class participated in peer review of our first Issue Paper.  At first, I was a bit nervous about someone reading my paper.  As an business administration undergraduate, little of my work was critiqued by my peers.  However, the peer review process was helpful to me.  This process helped me better my paper and hear what others thought about my topic.  I also gained insight into the interests of a classmate.  Afterwards, my peer reviewer and I had a conversation about her topic and I hope that I was able to assist her in improving her paper.  This process will continue to be important as I advance in my education.  If I pursue a Ph.D., my research will undergo the scrutiny of my peers, my institution, as well as the entire higher education community.
