An outcome of a good student review is it takes some of the burden off me.
If a student is giving a great review
I just have to go in there and say "I agree"
or even in Eli you can sometimes - you can click a "thumbs-up"
and I tell my students I reserve the thumbs-up for when I
really agree with that student's review, so pay attention to that student's review.
So I don't have to write a paragraph about how you might
revise the middle of the paper. Some student did it really well. I need to click the
"thumbs-up" button
to remind the writer pay attention to that.
So, pragmatically it saves me time. In the long run too, I think it
it makes better writers. The students understand how writing is put together
they understand
development issues and they can both develop their own papers
but see the need in other papers.
