I personally felt right at home prioritizing global edits over local edits in part because I’m not to picky about the grammar and sentence structure I read. Luckily my partners had very few local errors to distract me anyway so it wasn’t that hard to focus. I actually really liked prioritizing global edits especially since all throughout school all of my peer edits have been focused on local edits which got old really fast and wasn’t really that helpful anyway. I actually felt like I was helpful giving advice on things like essay structure, intros conclusions, how to incorporate text into a paper exc and I got into it a lot more than I usually do. I even surprisingly think it was easier than the editing i’m used to because you look at essays more in the big picture when you only care about global edits. Having to go in depth in every sentence to root out grammar errors is time consuming and annoying and not really something you should need your peer to do anyway. I’m actually really looking forward to getting my peer reviewed essays back because I know it wasn’t exactly polished and I have a feeling i’m going to get some really good feedback.
