Peer Review Guidelines

Peer Review Guidelines

1. Move into your PR groups.
2. Determine who will read in what order.
3. Budget 10-15 minutes per person and no more.
4. The reader reads their paper aloud.
5. Give written feedback that offers specific criticism according to criteria below.
6. Put your name on this feedback and give it to the writer.
7. Keep your written feedback and staple it to your final draft.

Writing Feedback Directions (from the text Tutoring Writing)

1. Overall. Open with comments about the essay's relationship to the assignment. Be clear about which parts fulfill the assignment and which parts need improvement.

Thesis. Organization. Evidence. Critical Thinking. 

2. Strengths and Weaknesses Use comments primarily to call attention to strengths and weaknesses in the piece, and be clear about the precise points where they occur.


3. Prioritize. Present comments so the writer knows which problems with text are most important and which are of lesser importance. .


4. Higher-Order Concerns. Don't feel obligated to do all the 'fixing.' Refrain from focusing on grammar unless it impedes your ability to understand the piece.

5. Advice. Write comments that are personal, and uniquely aimed at the blog and the writer. Literally tell the writer what you would do with the paper if you were them.

ALL WRITTEN FEEDBACK FROM PEER REVIEW MUST BE STAPLED TO THE BOTTOM OF FINAL DRAFT TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR PEER REVIEW.
