Responding to Peer Review

After reviewing my peer’s annotations, I came across common mistakes which include very broad statements being made about the author’s credibility and what the article is about. For the first paragraph where we had to talk about the authors and/or the source credibility, they would write a general statement saying what school the author received he/she degree and they would state that the source included an abstract. That is not showing the readers that the author or the source is credible. I also realized that they were not fully drawing a connection between the article they were talking about and other articles that they are including in their research paper. For the most part, both of my peers did a great job with citing their sources. They also did a great job with how they structured their annotations. The structure is an extremely important part of writing because it allows the reader to clearly understand the information and point that the author is trying to make.
