Week 4 Reflection: RISE Peer Feedback

The point of critiquing another's work is twofold.  The first, of course, is the obvious one of helping the person you're critiquing to see where they can improve their work.  The other is just as important. Seeing other people's mistakes can aid you in seeing your own.  When you see how someone else handled an issue, you might realize you make the same mistake and, by helping them find a way to fix it, you've helped yourself, too; or they might employ a technique that gives you an "ah-ha!" moment that shows you what you can do to fix a problem you've been having.  A peer review is a learning experience all the way around.
