Communication+with+Nastya+Venchikova

25 April 2010 Nastya has become the study participant at the same time as the other 2 girls. However, so far she has not submitted her essay draft to the other girls. Originally, she wanted to work in a wiki as her writing medium but I had to ask her to switch to the blog because she was out of touch with me for some time during which period Julia contacted me with her agreement to participate and chosen to work using wiki. Not knowing whether Nastya would in the end join the study we agreed with Julia she'll work in the wiki. I don't think that Nastya is late with her submission because of this. The reason is probably that she has many things to do and doesn't have enough time to devote to this project. I only hope that in the end it'll work out somehow.

Also, it might be worth noting that even though 2 of the students study at the same department and know each other very well and are on friendly terms with each other, Nastya sent her comments to Olga's work to me not to Olga herself ( **a point that might feature in the discussion section of the crit study discussing features of peer-editing contributing to its success or preventing it.)**

In addition, she used her own system of commenting on O lga's work, which I first saw as a problem but now think this commenting style should be kept for this draft for its comparison with the suggestions made to the students during the training session.
