peer review

Google docs seems like a great idea at first. The charming video gave the illusion that this is a simple tool that is very user friendly. I didn't like using it though. I prefer giving out a hard copy and getting back handwritten, personal feedback. When I logged in to check what revisions my peers had done, I couldn't see the changes. Google docs said it had been edited, but there were no indications of any editing. I refreshed over and over, only to realize that maybe my peer reviewers had only looked at it and not reviewed yet. Google docs should specify what has actually been done. Like give you a chronological list from the beginning of the document to the end of what has been done so its not like a treasure hunt looking for the barely visible "highlighted" comments. When I began editing, I was frustrated because all of the comments I wanted to make were already made by the other girl editing the paper.
