The day of peer review I was prepared to have a lot of feedback about how I needed to use more supporting details and finish my paper because I only had one-third of my paper done. The feedback that I received from my peer review was somewhat helpful. This is because some of the feedback that I received was unhelpful feedback that I knew that I needed to complete such as…
