comment on Lacy's James Berlin post

I do agree with you about the collaboration process with peers in a classroom setting. I am in Armstrong's Eng. 3360, Magazines and Trade Journals class. Group discussion is the main source for our writing, and to an extent, it does help a lot in understanding the reader and what needs to be fixed in the document. But, the way Berlin put it, it reminded me of the way peer reviewing could have its downside. Groupthink was an excellent example, but I first thought that it stresses other people’s opinions above your own, and who’s to say they won’t bring in their own biases and their socially constructed ways of viewing the world?
