One peer assessment last week, I really got an impressive feedback from both my course instructor and classmates.

I am also glad my instructor noticed the effort I put on my last week work and that gave me more morale to even complete this week’s assignment on time. What about the feedback you gave? I feel good about the feedback I gave, everyone deserved the grading I warded when I was assessing my peers. I also made sure that they know why I gave the ratings.

I need to learn from them as they learn from me. This will help since I believe that everyone have a different opinion on every matter and to make sure every perspective matter it would be better if I listen to them too.
