Answer each question for each entry. Don’t just answer yes/no to the questions. Detail your answers; if the thesis isn’t clear, why isn’t it? If there are incorrect citations, what are they? If something isn’t clear to you, why? Be of as much help as you can for your fellow students.
1) Is the article’s author's thesis clearly stated? Are the main points of the source clearly stated? (You want specificity rather than the general topic.)
2) Is the evaluation clear? (Be sure that it cannot be confused with summary.)
3) Is the statement of use [relevance to the student's paper] clearly stated?
4) Is the citation correctly formatted according to APA guidelines?
5) Where did this source come from? (e.g., [peer-reviewed journal in sociology], etc.)
6) Are the annotations free of all spelling/mechanical/grammatical/etc. errors?
Data Table Peer Review
Same Due Date and Submission Requirements as Above
1) Are the findings thoroughly addressed?
2) Are there multiple authors given for each main theme/finding addressed in the “Similarities” section? (There should be at least two or three in the early stages of research. By the time that you finish your research/data table with all 15 sources, there should be more than three. Multiple sources within a single parenthetical citation should be the rule rather than the exception in a literature review.)
3) Are the entries free of all spelling/mechanical/grammatical/etc. errors, where relevant?
