Instructions for writer of Order #00187136 1. Read the attached a. Two papers b. Critique - Types of Feedback _ Writing Commons c. Giving Feedback for Peer Review - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University d. Peer Review Definition, Types, Importance _ Writing Commons 2. In approximately 1100 words, provide feedback (approximately 550 words per paper reviewed), and provide substantive, useful feedback to the writer. 3. Each paper review should be in the form of a letter written directly to the writer, addressing each of the rubric’s areas in a separate paragraph (APA, Mechanics, Structure and Organization, Introduction and Conclusion, Body, and Formatting for a total of six). a. APA: Assigned number of sources are included in the submission. Research cited is credible, scholarly, recent, and relevant. Citations (both full and in-text) are in standard APA formatting, both within the body of the paper, and in a clear and corresponding full-citation on the references page. b. Mechanics: Spelling, punctuation, and grammar are correct. Both sentence and paragraph structures conform to current conventions. c. Structure and Organization: Essay meets minimum length as assigned. Learner utilizes each topic point as a new paragraph and includes support. Work shows logical flow from one topic to the next; transitions are used. d. Introduction and Conclusion: The introduction "hooks" the reader, orients the reader to the purpose of the essay, states a thesis, and provides an overview of the main points to be covered. The conclusion reiterates the purpose of the essay, restates the thesis, recaps the main points covered in the essay, and concludes without presenting new information. e. Body: The paper has the assigned amount of main points, presented as complete paragraphs. Paragraphs present a topic, provide an explanation of the topic, present credible evidence (through case studies, statistics, documentary evidence, academic books or journal articles, etc.) and considers the strengths and weaknesses of that evidence. Paragraphs provide a direct link to the purpose of the paper, and make clear how the main point relates to the overall thesis. f. Formatting: Submission is in standard APA formatting (Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins). Any special formatting required as outlined in the assignment prompt and instructor's notes are followed. 4. Each paragraph shall be no less than three sentences. 5. Here are some guidelines and tips: a. Mix criticism and praise. b. Use the “describe, evaluate, suggest” framework detailed in the attached OWL “Giving Feedback for Peer Review.” c. Whenever possible, provide examples by citing specific areas of your peer’s paper, i.e. “page 2, paragraph 3.” 6. Here’s an example of what one paragraph of the peer review could look like: a. “In terms of structure and organization, I noticed that your paper is still a couple pages short of the required length. I wondered if adding more detail to your rebuttal section would help you generate a little more material. That section felt shorter than some of the others. I also noticed that the transition from the first and second full paragraphs on page 3 seemed abrupt. I didn’t quite see how those two topics connected to one another, and I thought it might be helpful to add more transition material there to make the connection.” Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions.
