The goal of Peer-Review:

You need to follow the guidelines given below: (There will be a Peer-Review Form.)

1.      Read a draft all the way through before you begin to make comments on it. Take the time to read the whole paper in order to get all the points the paper makes.

2.      Point out both the strengths and weaknesses of the draft.

3.      When you find something unclear or you cannot understand, state it and offer appropriate and constructive comments. You can make suggestions about how to improve the paper.

4.      Your comments should be text-specific, meaning that when you make comments on certain points or sentences, you need to refer to the specific points or sentences.

5.      Do not make comments on grammatical aspects.

6.      Before you give your review with comments to the author or submit to the instructor, reread your comments to make sure they are clear enough for the author to understand.

Please be considerate when making comments. Do not say, for example, "I don't understand this or that." Instead, say, "Would you please clarify this?"
