Benchmark #5: Peer Feedback
Your project will be reviewed by two classmates who will provide constructive feedback. In turn, you will be expected to serve in the same role twice over. You will most easily find your peer assignments in your Canvas “To Do” list, usually on the right-hand side of your screen.
Obviously, the most important goal is to provide constructive feedback that your peers can use to improve their final project. Moreover, it is important to be specific and thorough. A good review will be 200-300 words in length for each classmate you are reviewing.
The form this takes is up to you and will vary depending on the type of project you review, but typically, we will hope to see at least three thorough responses:
·
First, a positive affirmation: Provide a clear expression of
at least
one
aspect or characteristic of the draft that seems especially strong or promising.
·
Second, constructive room for improvement: Provide specific feedback of
at least
two
portions, aspects, or characteristics that would most benefit from the most improvement. If possible, offer specific examples or guidance on how to approach that improvement.
Again, if you assess that the particular draft you are reviewing would benefit from another approach, I trust you to follow those instincts. The goal here is to provide what will give your peer the most benefit.
Ideally, your peer feedback will be posted through the Canvas peer review system that will automatically assign you to review two of your peers’ drafts. If that fails, you can use the discussion board below to post your feedback.
As soon as your reviews are complete,
PLEASE reply below to report whose drafts your reviewed and that your reviews are complete.
This will help track your progress and assign your grade.
