Lindemann-- CH.12

When it comes to writing workshops/peer review sometimes I feel like I have a problem with constructively criticizing someone else's paper. Sometimes I feel like maybe I just don't think something's right because it's not my style, but maybe that is the style that the writer likes. And I realize that teaching writing involves critiquing students' writing, but I feel bad sometimes. I don't know if I'm just a pansy, but I always feel bad telling someone something doesn't work in a paper even though I know it's supposed to benefit the writer in the end.
