In the video, What is Peer Editing? , The word Peer means someone that is your own age. The word Editing means making suggestions, comments, compliments, and changes to writing. Peer editing is not meant to discourage the person from the work he or she has done. Peer editing is not done to make someone feel inadequate or a terrible writer. Peer editing offers constructive criticism in a positive way, creating a refined piece of work as the end product. There are many ways to give constructive criticism without offending someone, sounding rude, or being blunt. After reading/watching the many materials provided for improving ones commenting abilities, there are many points that one should remember while leaving feedback. These are just a few examples that you should keep in mind.
