Module 3 Peer Review
Module 3 Peer Review
Copy-and-paste your full draft of your paper to this peer-review discussion forum. With your paper post, let your classmates know what you’d like help with the most.
Reply to at least 2 (two) classmates’ papers in at least 200 words (for each reply). Replies must identify areas in which 1) the writer is doing well and 2) the writer needs support. Be sure to identify specific issues that need attention, and give the writer page numbers from our online textbook or links to Purdue OWL webpages that will help them address that issue in their writing. Note: formats will be funky because we are copy-and-pasting papers into the forum; however, if you notice there is a significant issue with MLA citations, you may leave a helpful comment about these issues. Also make sure the writer is staying on topic and following directions. If you notice a classmate has already received several replies, move on to a less-discussed paper so everyone gets the support they need.
After we wrap up replies, begin heavily polishing your paper based on peer-review discussions. Remember, you can also use Smarthinking to work on your paper with an online tutor. Make sure you exceed the requirements outlined in the directions for the paper, and come to me with any questions you have.
