It's been a long time sinceI have been involved in an in-class peer workshop. I believe the last time I took part in one was my senior year of high school, so that was about 3 years ago. In-class peer workshops aren't my favorite thing in the world, but I don't loathe them. To me, these workshops are simply uncomfortable, kind of like a doctor appointment. On some level, I'm afraid that my peers are going to judge my writing and therefore make me feel insecure. This depends on how well I know my peers. If I'm friends with them, it makes the process even more uncomfortable because I especially don't want people I have actual relationships with "judging" my writing. If I'm only acquaintances then I only dread it a little bit.
On a positive note, from what I remember, in-class peer workshops result in constructive criticism that helps me write a better paper along with forming relationships with people who I don't know, even if it isn't the most pleasant thing.
