ENG 1510 Peer Review practice

Peer Review Practice
All around, this was a pretty good paper.  You had a lot of very strong facts.  I like how you incorporated the way you procrastinate before explaining in detail the other ways to do so.  I feel that makes your paper more original.  Also what really tricked me, is when you put off the assignment till last minute and had everyone thinking it would be terrible, then shift the topic to the teacher explaining how good your paper was, and how much thought you put into it.  That was a really good use of trickery.  I also liked how you put John R. Perry’s 5 step process regarding types of procrastination.  I can really relate to some of his ideas and logic.
I was a little weary on a few topics of this paper.  When you explained the 3 types of procrastinators, that was really good, but you didn’t explain the 2nd one very much, and the other 2 were in a lot of detail.  Another thing, at one point in the paper, it almost seemed you were encouraging kids to be procrastinators.  I don’t believe you should tell kids to try it, but for them to find out for themselves if it works the same for them.  Encouraging them to do so could possibly get them into bad habits.
Overall, it was a well written paper with few, minor and fixable mistakes.
