English 1103, Critical Review Reflection

Name:

Please provide a short response to each following question or statement.

1. Did you feel that the six questions, used as a lead-in, were helpful to starting your own composition? Why so/Why not?
Yes. Usually I find it challenging to start pieces of writing when I do not know what specific questions must
be answered. Using the six questions as a guide aided the flow of my writing and thinking process.

2. Influence me as to what to focus most upon during grading: what do you most want weighed in your favor as I grade
your overall project? Why?
Overall, I would like the quality of the paper rather than the content to be weighted in my favor. This is
because I do not usually write. I spent a couple hours writing this piece and sought out my friend, an
English major, to edit it for me.

3. Influence me further as to what to focus least upon during grading: what do you want weighed least against you as I
grade your project? Why?
To focus on least during the grading would be the content in my opinion. Of course I answered all of the
questions to the fullest, however, I do not usually write. With that being said, I do not know if the questions
were answered necessarily the way you would have wanted them to be answered.

4. Was the peer review beneficial to you? How so?

Yes! It really did assist me. Sarah was a great partner to work with throughout the semester. She was
always completely honest when she provided feedback.

5. Based upon what you have been assigned, verses what you have completed, what grade does your work justify?
Why?
I would have to say that my work has met all of the criteria and a little beyond that. I think that an A may
justify my grade.
