Attitudes

I like my English class but the peer reviewing made me aware of some things that cannot be right. There are some people who do not turn in their work on time and hinder other people to do their own work. But these people are still much better than the people who do not turn in their work at all. And even if one reseaves finnally the paper, it looks like an unfinished draft or a combination of the last papers that we wrote. Than one has to write peer reviews about papers which are not even clost to be researched in a proper way. Imagine a paper which is not double spaced, which does not include a work cited page, which has not one single convincing and thoroughly researched argument. One has to spend so much time with these type of texts. Come on guys, I have some more classes to study for, I have to practice every day and my girlfriend is visiting me – please do not waste my time in this way. I know that this English class includes a lot of work and that we are all very busy but if you send a paper to some group members just show some respect by putting at least some effort in your work. Alright, this has nothing to do with your personalities but just with some people’s attitudes.
I love you all!

You have a very good point. I waited for a member of my group to send me their paper and they never did. So I wasn't able to send her feedback. I still did my assignment and turned it in. I just made the decision that my work is not going to suffer as a result of anyone else's tardiness, lack of desire, or lack of respect, or whatever the reason might be.

Yeah I got kind of frustrated with a couple people in my group too. One of the people in my group I haven't seen in two weeks. The other person just waited to send me the paper the day before the paper was due. It is good that you did your work though because it will just be less work for you in the end.

I am guessing that is why it is called a draft so people can revise the paper so they can get it right before the final copy but I am guessing you are saying that they didn’t have all that when they turned in there final copy that I have nothing to comment on but DAMN
