Rough Draft Peer Review Submission

Your job as a reviewer is to follow the checklist below to give cogent, professional feedback to

the students whose works you are assigned to review. The following elements make your

review successful.

 Professional review that looks at the submitted material from the perspective of assessing

the concept as if it could work.

 The reviewer may agree or disagree with the submitted material.

 This is not an argument. Consider that you both want to see the author succeed in this

endeavor. The reviewer should provide additional information or countering information

from the perspective that more may need to be done or other angles considered.

 Do not focus on grammar, spelling, or format (your instructor will do this).

 Focus on content as aligned with the topic at hand and supporting their concept.

 Assertions made by the reviewer must be accompanied by an appropriate citation

reference (or references).

The peer review process is intended to mirror constructive feedback you will be expected to

provide and respond to in the real world, whether you are refining a new project or identifying

new unexplored options. Please perform this review with an open mind as a professional and

with consideration of how you state your questions or comments. This process of review and

defense is almost as valuable a learning opportunity as the assignment.
