The peer feedback given by students in reviewing their classmates’ essay was analyzed and categorized based on Hyland and Hyland’s classification: praise, criticism, and suggestion. As the result, suggestion was most frequently given by students in reviewing essay because most of the students gave constructive comment or asking the improvement as their feedback rather than gave praise and criticism. It was seen that the total suggestion which given by students to the classmates was 208 feedback. Then, 108 praise was given which expressed the positive comments or positive impression, though there is some empty praise without constructive comments. 107 criticisms were also given by students in expressing their negative comment or dissatisfaction with the essay written by their classmates.
