Pattern in Peer Reviewing

Overtime, my class and I had many papers to write.  Within writing papers comes a lot of editing and peer reviewing.  After viewing my peer review responses, I began to notice a pattern in the way that I peer reviewed many papers.  I began to see that I talk a lot about the information that the author is presenting the audience of his/hers paper throughout the paper itself.  I feel as though I address and focus on the audience itself, because I know myself as a reader, would like to enjoy a paper that has great supporting detail and provides me with the information that I am reading.  Throughout many of my peers papers, I tend to comment and review on the fact that a lot of the paper is support based.  As a writer, support is always helpful, but as a reader, we would like to see and hear what the author has to say and their intake on a particular situation.  Peer reviewing is not always easy and it does come with a task and a guard of not hurting anyone’s feelings and being respectful.  As a reader, I would like to read a paper that deals with an interesting topic and it comes from the author themselves; not from the internet, books, support groups or television shows.  Too much support can ruin a paper and even not enough support can make a paper seem dry and unappealing.  Authors sometimes seem to take the thought of “detail” overboard and they are unaware of the fact that their paper is just an information based paper, especially if they were trying to make an argumentative paper.  Support is great, but as I stated before, too much support can be overwhelming to the audience that the author is reaching out to.
