Peer-review Guidelines
Peer-review Guidelines
Use this guidelines to respond to your peers' drafts.
1.
Read the essay quickly and see if you clearly
understand the main points. Did the paper flow well on your first reading? Briefly
describe what part(s) of the essay flowed well and what part(s) seemed choppy
or incoherent. What strategy(ies) are used to organize the information gathered
from a variety of sources? Suggest some ways to improve the overall
organization of the paper.
2.
Now read slowly. Read the essay up until you identify
the writer's thesis. Stop reading
at this point and answer the following questions:
a.
Does the introduction give you enough background to
understand the thesis?
b.
Is the background too broad or merely tangentially
relevant to the thesis?
c.
Does the intro provide relevant background about
writing in a particular profession or discipline and identify a problem or gap?
d.
Does it provide a brief description of the methods used
to gather relevant information to address the problem and develop an
informational report?
e.
Is the thesis clear? Does it make an argument/claim or
does it state the most important information about writing in a
profession/discipline?
Provide
suggestions for improving the introductory material.
3.
Now read through the paper, using the point-predict
method. Pause every 1-2 sentences or
so and summarize the writer's main argument and predict what will come
next. Clearly identify any places on the
paper where your expectations as a reader were not met or where you were
unclear on the writer's point. If
possible, indicate what you were expecting.
4.
Does each paragraph adhere to a single main idea? Note any paragraphs that seem to have
multiple topics competing for attention.
5.
Are paragraphs connected with transitions? Identify any places where transitions between
paragraphs can be improved.
6.
Do paragraphs make good use of repetition of key
ideas? Note any places where the writer
might improve coherence by repeating a key term or synonym.
7.
Does the writer provide sufficient evidence for each of
the main points? Note any places where
you would like to see more evidence.
Make suggestions for what type of evidence the writer might include.
8.
Does the writer use quotations and paraphrases of
sources effectively? Are the quotations
relevant?
9.
Is the overall order of paragraphs in the paper
logical? Do the paragraphs in the body
of the paper follow the order suggested by the thesis? Does the overall organization seem to have
some sort of ordering principle—such as comparison and contrast,
steps/processes, etc?
10. Does
the author focus on features of writing or the aspects of writing process in
analyzing written sources? How could he/she improve the analysis?
11. How
well does the writer integrate the information gathered from interviews with
the information drawn from analyses of the writings?
12. Does
the essay have an interesting conclusion that does not simply repeat the main
points of the essay?
13. Does
the writer include a correctly documented works cited page?
14. Do
you see any pattern errors (grammatical) that the author is making? Can you
offer some suggestions to improve?
15. In
what particular aspect(s) of the paper has the author done an excellent job?
16. What
are the three most significant changes the writer could make to improve
this paper?
After reading and analyzing your
peers’ papers, write a review for each of the papers focusing on the following
aspects:
1. What
is your overall impression?
2. What
are the 3-5 most important areas for improvement?
Your review should be at least 3
paragraphs (300 words). After you finish writing, post it as a comment to your peer's blog.
For the group conference with
the instructor, you will have to bring at least 4 main suggestions on your peer’s
paper. These suggestions have to be concrete and specific. That means, you
cannot simply make general comments like you can improve the organization of
your essay or you need to improve transition. You need to show where and
provide some concrete ways for
improvement.
Also, bring at least three
questions that you want to ask your instructor and your peer about your own
paper.
