"Peer review is the process of reviewing and critiquing a manuscript by several (usually two or three) knowledgeable professionals known as peer reviewers" (Connelly, 2017, p.146). It's having someone impartial review your work with fresh eyes, and provide you with feedback and suggestions to help improve your work The review process is not about proof-reading..it's questioning your research or statements you have made in your document, why your have made certain claims, and how you have conducted your study. You are under no obligation to make suggested changes however the review is usually done by a respected peer and their questions and suggestions will improve your work. When work has been peer reviewed, it tends to be seen as more scholarly and will appear in more reputable journals.
The pre-course peer review process was extremely beneficial! I was very fortunate with my review partner. She is someone I trust completely to provide honest and helpful feedback. My review was detailed and full of support, divided into things I should change as well as things I could change. I will take her feedback and make the necessary improvements to the module I created. Many of these suggestions were oversights on my part, which made my module look unfinished, for example, an incomplete syllabus and course schedule, so I am grateful to have been given this opportunity. I will spend the week making the necessary additions so my module is complete before pilot-testing.
