Peer Review Recap Part 1

I have to put a disclaimer on this:  I have only reviewed one paper and had one review, so I haven't had that much experience with the review process yet.  However, since this assignment is due tonight I will have to complete it.

My experience with the reviewing process has been mixed.  I like Google Docs and am glad to have started using it, because it does make sharing documents so much easier.  The problem is getting the process down.  Up until tonight, only 2 of us had our papers posted with the group members as collaborators (this includes mine, which I admit I did post late).  Unfortunately, this means that I have only had one paper to edit so far.  

I did find the editing process to be easier electronically, because it is both faster and more efficient.  It is possible to insert corrections and suggestions where you want them, instead of in the margins of a hard copy where they might be more confusing. It is also nice to have the paper and comments right on the computer, since that is where the revisions and final copy will be made.  

My paper has been edited by one group member so far, and the comments are very helpful.  I'm hoping that other group members will edit it and those comments will go to good use as well when completing the revisions.  I also hope that all papers get posted soon so that I can contribute and give feedback.  Now that we're all beginning to get used to Google Docs, I think things will go much smoother the next time we use it.
