Peer response is something that when we were in high school was limited in a few words but now its not only saying you are right or you are wrong, now it’s a matter of helping someone see their mistakes in a way he or she understands what’s doing wrong.

one of the main points in the article was to focus on the peer response this techniques requires a group of members to take turns and read their drafts  and tell  and try to correct their own errors as the other persons were helping them with their own work.

Another experiment used in the article was to generate and specific response and this was used by a little group of students to create a more accurate response.

The effect of both experiments was shown where the biggest group will have a small percent of accurate answers and a bigger percent o vague answers.

In the other hand the small group was full of good answers, and their vague answers where in small percents.

In the call for papers article was published in all over the world, and was helpful to does who were looking for a better accurate responses.
