Sample Essay 

This web site is about how to improve your academic writing skills. It also gives you advice on how to get and give proper and detailed feedback to your peer. Peer feedback is a valuable aid for both you and your peer in developing your academic writing skills. Your peers play a major role in the feedback process. They help you to see your writing from an objective perspective, help you to spot your strengths and weaknesses in the writing, and find areas of the text that are not clear, concise nor coherent. Peer feedback can be used alongside the feedback given by the professor or teacher of an academic writing course.
