English 1110 Peer Review Student Author__________________________

First three pages + references Peer Reviewer_________________________________

1. The research paper will have an introduction and perhaps a paragraph that provides necessary background information and definitions. After these paragraphs, does the student author start each body paragraph with a topic sentence? (Remember, the topic sentence should not mention an author’s name or have a citation at the end. The topic sentence should forecast the content of the rest of the paragraph.)

a. The topic sentences are all appropriate

b. One or more of the topic sentences needs improvement.

2. The student author must cite a source for any information that s/he didn’t know before the beginning of this semester. Does s/he do so, or are there parts that need a citation?

a. Everything that needs to have a supporting citation has it.

b. There are some sections that need a supporting citation.

3. Does the student author clearly mark the beginning and end of information that comes from a given source? For example, the author should do something like this:

Laso (2013) argues that blah, blah, blah, blah. Additionally, blah, blah, blah (p. 37).

a. Yes, this is always clearly indicated.

b. There are some parts where it’s not clear where the information that comes from a given source begins and ends.

4. Does the author use quotations sparingly? That is, does s/he only use them when an author’s way of expressing an idea is especially eloquent?

a. Yes, the author uses quotations sparingly and appropriately.

b. The author should paraphrase some of the quotations s/he uses because the original author’s words are not particularly eloquent.

5. Does the student ever quote a short phrase from a source, using it within the student author’s own sentence? Remember, this is considered especially sophisticated. Example:

Cheng (2015) argues that the results minimum wage laws are “surprisingly complex” because blah, blah, blah (p. 54).

a. Yes, the student author does this at least once.

b. No, the student author never does this.

6. Does the reference page include at least six sources, including the interview, and are the references in alphabetical order (by author’s last name)? Yes No

7. What is the most important thing that the student author needs to do to improve this paper so far?
