Ning #3 Looking back

If I would offer suggestions for future projects of the same nature, I would suggest two things: smaller annotated bibliographies and cross class room peer review. As far as smaller annotated bibliographies go, I found that many sources overlapped. There are not always diverse and adequate sources online. Three each instead of four I feel would be more reasonable. Although, I've never before done an annotated bibliography, so I'm not sure much of how it ought to be. I am sure though that I would prefer if peer review occurred between groups on the opposite side of the class room. During both peer reviews, the group I reviewed and was reviewing me was within ear shot, actually right next door. It made me self-conscious, as I'm sure it did others. With the reviewer/ee groups spaced farther apart, there could be more honest reflection. I'm also not too fond of the grade-giving part: I think groups that have done poorly get an inflated grade because no one wants to be mean, and that groups who have done well get a reduced grade because the reviewers are jealous. This may just be my personal feeling and it may be paranoid.
