When I edit other people’s papers I look for several things. I look for grammar, even though I am fairly bad at it. If I see mistakes that I know about, I edit it. I look for how well the essay is written to. If the writer makes the story constantly shift so that it doesn’t make sense or chronological order then the paper isn’t well written. I will also see how the story uses its words. If the author of the story constantly uses words such as and or this then the author will also probably lose points for unnecessary repetition. I do not think that being lenient is good for a student grading another student because if you do they will never improve or learn from their mistakes since they believe their peers think they are correct. This may cause some dislike but it is the honest way of grading your class mate’s paper.
