Values, Attitudes, Emotions - similar to the primary readers due to their related positions in academia

Tertiary Readers, student peers in English 839 and Landscape Architecture:
Motives - There might be some competition but I have found that because I am an older student most of the time I am able to seek help of younger more technologically adapted students to help me with new programming while I provide a different, more experienced viewpoint. I hope the English 839 students will help me with the rhetorical aspects of writing a proposal while I hope my knowledge of world of grants will help them with mechanics.
Values, Attitudes, Emotions - I expect the wide diversity in this class to bring many viewpoints and opinions and help create an unusually strong proposal.
