I found that this paper addressed a very important issue. I have many times asked a friend to look over my paper, hoping to hear honest and helpful feedback. But oftentimes people are too afraid to hurt my feelings and end up saying “It’s great! Don’t change anything!” But that doesn’t actually help me at all. My feelings are not gonna be hurt, and I would much rather receive helpful feedback as to actually improve my work. On the other hand, there are some people that don’t even consider the writers feelings and completely take apart the entire essay, rewriting it instead of suggesting revisions.
I also liked the suggestion of both writing in the margins and adding a post it at the end with more comments. The post it is a good place to put both positive comments, and issues that are overall and important and need to be addressed, and the margins are good for adressssing te smaller things to revise.
