Provide feedback on first drafts. Post your draft to one of the discussion groups in this forum and provide feedback on the drafts of your discussion partners. Post drafts by 11:59 p.m. Sunday. Return feedback within 48 hours. Follow the directions on this peer review handout: Directions Discussion 1.2 - Intro to Peer Review.docx and Directions Discussion 1.2 - Intro to Peer Review.pdf.
Peer Review Process: I uploaded the two people's drafts and memos, and directions. Choose two people's drafts to review. If you notice that two people have already reviewed an individual's draft, please move on to review a different person's draft. Note: if you conduct your peer review on two individuals and later find that the maximum number of reviews have already been performed on the original post, go ahead and post your peer review anyway.
Paper For Above instruction
The assignment entails engaging in a peer review process by posting a first draft of an academic or reflective work in a designated discussion forum, then providing constructive feedback to selected peers within a specified timeframe. This activity encourages collaborative learning, critical analysis, and development of writing skills through peer interactions. Specifically, students are required to upload their initial drafts to the designated discussion group by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, ensuring timely participation. Once drafted, students should review two different peers’ submissions, focusing on providing meaningful, respectful, and insightful feedback to aid in revision and improvement of the drafts.
The peer review process is governed by guidelines detailed in the provided handouts, emphasizing constructive criticism, clarity, and specificity in feedback. Students are instructed to choose two drafts to review; if their selected drafts have already been reviewed by the maximum number of peers, they should select different submissions. However, if upon reviewing the process they find that all drafts already have the requisite number of reviews, they are encouraged to still proceed and post their feedback to ensure their participation is recorded.
This process not only enhances the quality of individual submissions but also fosters a community of collaborative learners, enabling students to learn from diverse perspectives and improve their writing through critique. The structured timeframe—posting by Sunday night and responding within 48 hours—ensures steady progress and active engagement among participants. Overall, this assignment aims to cultivate skills in peer assessment, critical reading, and scholarly communication within a supportive learning environment.
