Peer Review

Although I did not attend class for the peer review due to illness I will still write a post on what Hye Su and I discussed in our meeting and the peer review I've experienced in the past.

When any peer has reviewed papers in the past they always find mistake that I commonly overlook, sections of the paper that need more explanation or revisions and new ideas that I had not thought of. Hye Su did this same process with my paper. She highlighted what the important parts of the paper should be and how I should emphasize those ideas. From this I learned what my argument should steer toward and what I should elaborate less upon.

When the tables are turned and I review someone else's paper I naturally find the same things other find in my papers. I find the easy fix mistakes and try to think of new ways to elaborate on the topic their paper deals with. In turn this process helps me with my own paper. When review someone's I usually get new ideas about sentence and paragraph structure, then I will incorporate these ideas into my own paper.

The Oval

The oval. Everyone at Ohio State knows this great place to sit, relax, study and just toss a frisbee around. This large, open space is located in the middle of campus and provides some much needed greenery to the surrounding area of essentially all man made creations.

The main purpose for the oval is to sit around and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it be in the chill of fall, the snow of winter or the freshness of spring, the oval is great in any weather. Other than to sit in wonder of nature, it is also a great place to meet friends and just relax. It is a great meeting place in the middle of campus fro those who are coming from opposite site of our enormous campus. If anyone has not enjoyed the oval yet, I highly suggest visiting as often as possible.
