Peer Review

This week, you will conduct a thorough and thoughtful peer review of a classmate’s introduction and literature review that will be assigned by your instructor. The purpose of a peer review is to strengthen your writing. You will also learn how to provide constructive and communicative feedback and how to respond to feedback on your own work. The aim is not to grade your classmate’s paper but to add constructive feedback to the paper in order to help strengthen his or her work.

By Day 3, post your literature review in the Discussion Area for a classmate to review (reviews will be assigned by your course instructor).

By Day 5 conduct a thorough and thoughtful peer review. You may use track changes and add formative comments throughout the document. At the end of the document, give 2–3 paragraphs of summative feedback on the paper. Post this document to your classmate’s discussion thread.

By Day 7, review your classmate’s feedback on your introduction and literature review. If you agree with the recommended changes, incorporate them in the document. Post a response for the classmate. Ensure that you incorporate the rationale for not including any change or clarifications that the classmate may have asked for. Of course, in any peer review process, it is always good to start with a simple “Thank you” to your classmate for taking the time to review and evaluate your work.
