Thurs. 4/7 – Proposal Peer Review

For today’s asynchronous work, we’ll be partnering up for a quick peer review of your final project proposals. Hopefully you’ve been in a class where you’ve done a helpful, successful review of a peer’s paper before, but if not, this chapter from Writing Spaces by Ron DePeter offers some great tips for giving good feedback on your classmates’ work.

Please find your name and your peer review partner’s name on the list below. Then, share your proposal with them by 12pm on Friday 4/8. Read over your partner’s proposal, leaving comment bubbles in the margins as well as a short note at the end of the proposal summarizing your thoughts. All commenting should be completed before class on Tuesday 4/12.(I’m giving you some extra time on this.) In your comments…

• ask questions about your partner’s project (the format, organization, topic, ways they’re using theory, how they’re analyzing the text(s) they’ve chosen, main argument, etc. etc.)
• make suggestions for how your partner might address essential aspects of the assignment
• make suggestions for how your partner might approach a potential problem or issue you’ve identified that they may run into
• point out aspects of their project that you’re excited about and that seem interesting to you
