Peer Revising
By reading my peers' essays it helped me in ways to look at how others view alcohol on campus as an issue. I was able to connect with their papers so it helped to reinforce my stand on the issue. Peer revising helped to prove that there are more people who see the drinking in dorms for undergrads to be a problem. I feel as though it also allowed me to see where my weaknesses are in the essay and opened up opportunities to suggestions that benefit my writing. My essay still needs some revision, not too major but with my peers' opinions I can easily adjust my essay to better fit the requirements. Much of the issues would be minor words that could be changed so that it transitioned better to the next topic and a few run on sentences. All in all reading my peers' essays was helpful in the ways that they reinforce, but yet opened up my view to other points against drinking as an undergrad. With the help of this I am able to fix these errors and finish with a better paper in the end.

I like that you mentioned the fact that reading other people's papers will help us get a different perspective. I had not thought about this but now that you mention it is interesting to see other people's perspectives on the issue of alcohol in college.
