The most frustrating thing for me in English class is peer editing. I can't even think of a good intro right now because I'm so frustrated. Here we go!
In my English class, people do not know how to write papers. The grammar is out of control, and I can't seem to function after staring at misplaced apostrophes and commas for an hour. This last week I read the sentence "Adolf Hitler was probably one of the most worst person ever to live." Well then. Okay maybe I can overlook that little mistake. I decided I couldn't overlook it when I read the conclusion which started with "this has been a very informational essay." No. You are wrong. This essay should be titled "How not to write an essay." The bottom line is, I really wish my teacher would give me the option to edit my own paper. I'd much rather do that as I know which areas I need to work on. I can't stand reading other people's papers when they have no clue what they're doing.
I apologize for the rant. This was what was on my mind this week and I just decided to share my frustration in case anyone else knows what I mean. My solution to the problem; print two copies of your paper. Edit the other person's paper quickly and efficiently to leave time for you to look over your own. Assuming you like to do that. I prefer to edit my own because I realize my own mistakes quickly when I'm reading. Maybe that's just me!
Thanks for reading today! I appreciate your time!
