26 distributed was 25 sheets, but only 24 sheets were returned as well as the peer
feedback checklist. As the result, the total instruments to be analyzed were 49 sheets of peer feedback checklist and 49 sheets of questionnaires.
E. Data Analysis Technique
The data analysis dealt with analyzing the questionnaire result. First, the researcher counted the number of ticks on every degree of agreement of each item
in close-ended questions namely strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. Then, the researcher counted the raw data into percentage and
interpreted them. The data was presented in form of table see Table 3.1. For the open-ended questions, the researchers classified and clustered the same answer
and then interpreted them.

Finally, the researcher analyzed the students’ feedback in their peer’s composition in feedback checklist. By analyzing the feedback checklist given to
the students, the researcher could answer the second problem formulation and could draw conclusion about the contribution on peer feedback in writing class.

F. Research Procedure
In conducting this study, the researcher followed some steps of procedure. First of all, the topic was selected and the research problems were formulated.
After analyzing the research problems, the researcher selected the appropriate method which can be applied in this research. The appropriate research
instruments were selected as well so that the instruments could help the researcher to gather the data in order to answer the research problems. Because this research
used students of Paragraph Writing class as the participants, the researcher asked for a permission to conduct the research before the researcher began to gather data
using questionnaires. The collected data, then, was presented and analyzed descriptively and answered the research problems based on the data. Finally, the
researcher drew conclusion of the research.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, the researcher intends to discuss the research results and the data analysis of the results. The analyzed data are discussed comprehensively
to answer the problems of the research. This chapter is divided into two parts, namely Research Results and Discussion.
A. Research Results
The participants of the research were the students of the English Education Study Program who were taking Paragraph Writing class in the academic year
20092010. The researcher used two classes of Paragraph Writing namely class D and class F with the same lecturer. Class D consisted of 26 students and class F
consisted of 25 students. The researchers used these classes because the lecturer of these classes applied peer feedback in class. To collect the data, the researcher
employed two research instruments, namely peer feedback checklist and questionnaire. The researcher distributed 26 questionnaires in class D but only 25
sheets were returned. In class C, the number of questionnaire distributed was 25 sheets, but only 24 sheets were returned as well as the peer feedback checklist. As
the result, the total instruments to be analyzed were 49 sheets of peer feedback checklist and 49 sheets of questionnaires.
Firstly, the researcher gathered the data through peer feedback checklist. The students were given peer feedback checklists while they were doing peer
