1133 Peerfeedbatext-Based Spring11
Author: Respondent:
1. The introduction captures the reader’s attention and encourages the reader’s attention
throughout the writing?
2. Includes a clear argument that the writer is trying to support. In other words, the author
makes a clear claim a about the issue in the paper?
3. Supports this thesis with evidence?
4. Provides at least 2 sides to the issue at hand?
5. Uses at least 5 academic/peer reviewed sources? At least three of these sources are
academic/scholarly? If you are unsure if a source is either, please ask me and I will weigh in
on the question.
6. Effectively incorporates source materials into author’s own style?
Write 2 – 3 paragraphs in which you summarize and discuss your answers to the above questions;
email or transfer via USB your comments to the author. Remember to be specific in your
suggestions. When replying, be sure to specifically describe what the author is doing well at this
point and what he or she could strengthen. The most important part of this process is providing
reasons for the feedback that you give your colleague.
Finally, provide a reverse outline of the paper to help the author understand how clearly organized
the paper is now. A reverse outline is exactly what it sounds like; your purpose—once you’ve read
through the paper and provided feedback—is to provide a detailed outline of how the paper looks
from conclusion to introduction.
You will be turning in the peer critique that you wrote for your peer.
