I found the peer reviews to be very helpful for revising my informational report. Almost all of the points for each commenter gave me a new area to look at and revise, providing me with a holistic revision of my paper. The commenters were also my age which gave me a good perspective on how my paper was translated by my peers and what they would or wouldn't understand. I would recommend that if a commenter suggests the addition of something in a specific area, they provide multiple avenues in order that if their suggestion does not fit in the first suggestion, the writer has the ability to put it somewhere else, improving the paper. Also, I would recommend cutting down on questions in the comments, because it can become overwhelming and confusing.
The conferences were also very helpful as they gave me a thorough look at my paper's structure, organization, and strength of writing. The conference helped me visualize what I needed to change, so I could connect them back to the writing. The conference also gave me a thorough explanation and for each area I needed to fix, which helped me broaden my learning abilities. The only thing I would suggest is maybe giving a stricter time limit for the conferences so they don't run over other conferences.
