The trend in my group was that everyone recognized all the positive aspects of each person's writing, but gave no criticism that each piece of writing could improve on. Looking back at some of the comments on my Summary Two, they elaborated on some of the things they liked, but gave very brief information on what could be improved. My comments on some of my colleagues' summaries were also like this where I gave more positive than negative feedback for improvement. As the semester went on peers became more comfortable giving peer criticism realizing it was a very useful tool, they started providing more comments for improvement instead of just focusing on what they liked of the summaries. Which in turn, although as we got deeper into the course work and our writing should have improved, peer comments for criticism also improved and helped improve our grades for the final.
