What is Peer Editing explains the three components of peer editing. These three components are complimenting, suggestions, and corrections. Personally, I have always been a little hesitant to comment on corrections because I’m afraid my peers will take it the wrong way, especially if I comment on multiple needed corrections.  Over time I have gotten a lot better with peer reviews and spend a fair amount of time doing so.
