For this blog post I will be reflecting the two peer reviews for my draft I have received, as well as linking my own peer reviews. I have attached the peer review sheet I used for each draft. One was Isaak's paper on obesity and the other was Chelsea's on geo engineering.
1. Who reviewed your Project 3 rough draft?
Both Laurence and Chelsea reviewed my project three draft. You can find Laurence's review here and Chelsea's here.

2. What did you think and/or feel about the feedback you received? Be explicit and clear. Tell me what helped or what confused you about the feedback you got.
I feel like both of their reviews were very helpful! They generally had the same sort of comments on my draft. Chelsea specifically recommended I re-word my title and to review my paper for general errors (I was sure I had my paper in 'comment' mode but I she said I didn't! oops). She also recommended I revise some quotation because I used too many ellipses, and I agreed and changed it to a paraphrase. Laurence also recommended general revisions for clarity and to maybe more strongly appeal to my audience. I agree a revisions of the draft is probably a good idea.

3. What aspects of Project 3 need to most work going forward [Audience, Purpose, Argumentation, or Genre]? How do you plan on addressing these areas?
Based on these peer reviews, I would probably say addressing my audience. Laurence said I was perhaps making a jab at the likely wealthier audience I would have to donate to my cause. I'm deciding if this is something I want to come across, since this is more of a "causal" argument than a "call to action" piece of writing. Just adjusting a little of my writing to appeal to my audience would do.

4. How are you feeling overall about the direction of your project after peer review and/or instructor conferences this week?
After conferences and the peer review, I'm feeling pretty strong about my project! The general consensus is to do a general revision to put some polish on the paper. I tend to review a few times before I submit a final project anyway, so I feel confident about how my project is turning out.

Just fyi, I couldn't access peer review sheets to assign credit. The one for Isaak was blocked and the link for Chelsea's was to her rough draft, not the peer review sheet you completed for her...
ReplyDeleteYes, when the grade updated I realized I had made a mistake. I fixed the link to Chelsea's just now and both should give you access now. I'm usually pretty good about making sure, but I messed up this time :/
