I can see the finish line

This has been a wonderful Christmas break and it helped so much that our project was due the week before instead of during. Being able to relax and hit the refresh button sort of speak was needed. I didn't care to much for the peer reviews at first because I find it hard to be critical of others work however, I learned a great deal about taking constructive criticism and giving helpful advice without being overly critical. I found all of the comments about my paper so helpful and invaluable. Its amazing how a new pair of eyes will see something that was there all of the time and you never saw. After reading and re-reading something over and over it sounds right, but if you hear someone else read it you will pick up on several things that you want to change or revise so they sound better. Because of this I now understand and appreciate the need for peer review.
Also to all of my classmates, make sure you are using quotation marks, and citing correctly. Brush up on all of the information we've learned this term about plagiarism. Its so easy to make a mistake that can end up being costly not only to your grade but to your record.
