Over this past term I have come to appreciate the peer review process. For the first peer review project I didn't find the process useful. However the second, third and fourth reviews were pretty good. Several of my reviewers went indepth and gave me some very good ideas. I found the video collaboration peer reviews to be the best.
I've found that the effectiveness of the project depended on which peer review group to which I was assigned. I wound I was in the same group twice with one classmate who was the best reviewer. From reading his drafts I can tell that he is a very good writer himself.
Google docs and the Wetpaint Wiki made the review process easy. I've done manual peer reviews that were bearable because we did them in class. I prefer this process.
Only once did I find a reviewer's comments offensive and I replied as tactfully as I could. For the most part I did not feel the need to reply to any comments because everyone has their own opinions.
