Peer Review of the Definitions Assignment
This assignment followed the previous assignment however we were tasked with peer reviewing our peer’s definitions. This assignment gave us the opportunity to view definitions from a reader’s perspective as opposed to the writer’s side. This assignment allowed me to suggest areas of improvement for my peer but also allowed me to enhance my understanding of the strategies.

Complaint and Response Letters
This assignment gave insight into the writing of letters in two situations. Drawing on my real-life experiences I wrote a complaint letter to an online retailer regarding a delayed delivery. My other letter was a response to the previous one from the company’s perspective. Writing these two letters gave me an opportunity to practice and employ the strategies learned from the “you” attitude assignment.

Peer Review of the Application Package
This assignment focused on peer-reviewing the application assignment which consists of a job posting, cover letter, resume, and reference letter. For this assignment I found myself focused on the technical elements of the package with reference to spelling, formatting, and grammar. As an application package should be professional I thought these three elements were critical to the success of the package.

Peer Review of the Formal Report
This assignment was focused on reviewing the overall report of a peer. I was tasked with reviewing Jessica’s paper written on strategies that Urban Outfitters can employ to succeed in the Chinese Fashion market. In contrast to the peer review of the application package, I choose to focus on the content of this assignment. While reviewing the paper, I ensured that the paper flowed well and was reader-friendly.
