What I learned as a reviewer is that I need to understand my own style of thinking and writing more clearly before I start to give someone else advice. Even though I gave my full honest opinions on the essay I reviewed, I was unsure of how my own competence in writing compared to the that of the author of the essay I evaluated. That being said, it also gave me more confidence into knowing what to look for in a good paper, which in turn will help me know how to interpret criticism in a way that allows me to improve and correct my essay in a more precise manner.
