In class we discussed how to leave a “good” comment. After
looking at the examples on our sheet we were all able to see what made those
comments differ from others. We came to the consensus that posing a question to
the writer typically was the best choice. This allows for the writer to be able
to expand on the idea in ways that, perhaps, they didn’t think of prior. I know
that when I read the comments left by my peers, I am able to look at the topic
in a new light.
We also stated that making a connection with the writer is
an integral part in the commenting process. This allows the writer to better
understand the commenter and be able to respect their opinions more. If the writer
doesn’t respect the opinion of the commenter then the writer is more unlikely to
ignore the comment, or just not feed into it. I know that when someone leaves
me a comment I like to see that I am not alone in what I am writing. It makes
me understand the person commenting more, and where they are coming from in their
writing.
