Peer Review 1:

I think you did a good job talking about aspects of your profile and how you relate to them. However, you were very focused on only a few aspects (profile picture, cover photo, about me) - I think it would be interesting if you explored more aspects of your profile, especially secondary aspects, since those aren't mentioned at all. I also like that you talked about transparency, and people's expectation that if they are posting certain types of information, that everyone else should be as well. Also, it might be interesting to talk about how your profile represents you as a whole - you talk about each aspect in terms of it's relation to a part of you, but I would be nice to see how all of these pieces interact with each other (maybe try thinking of the "who I am" activity from section, and talking about some of those key terms in regards to your profile).

I also agree with your ethics section when you talk about how it's not "unethical" for people to not be themselves online, but I think it might be good to go into more detail about this: Is it ever unethical to not be yourself? How is the situation different if you are omitting information versus if you are lying about information?

Overall, I think your autobiography is structured very well, there is a nice flow between the different elements you talk about, and you all tie them back to yourself well. The only real grammatical comment I have is that there are random colons throughout your Consequences section, so that's something you might want to fix. Other than that, I think you did a good job with the piece. -Kristen

Kuan-Yu,

I enjoyed reading your analysis of your Avatar, and I think you did a great job of considering the effects and implications of choosing to withhold or hide information from Facebook. It was also nice to see a discussion of the functionality of the cover photo because I and many other students glossed over it when analyzing our Avatars. Partially, I think this is due to it being a new feature to Facebook, but I also think that people don't consider it because most of the time people don't post pictures of themselves as you discussed. I thought your discussion of the thought-process you undergo when posting something to Facebook interesting as well (emphasizing how you believe others will perceive you when you post something). I disagree with the earlier commenter--I don't believe there's enough room for you to discuss more elements of your Facebook. Rather, I would like to see further development of the elements that you analyzed (Profile Picture, Cover Photo, About Me). In addition, it would be nice if you expanded on how the combination of these elements define you as a whole and provide some analysis of this.

Your analysis was perceptive and transparent, but I would've like to see a little more depth, exploring each element a little further. But, overall I enjoyed reading your Avatar, and I thought your writing was well-structured and that you took this assignment seriously. You get an "A-" from me.
