"How Can You Provide Meaningful Feedback To Your Peers?"
By: Noah E Armstrong
We have all gotten back a paper from a teacher and seen a frightening amount of red ink on it. Stressing over a paper and getting a bad grade can be one of the worst feelings a student feels in their academic career, but there is a way to reduce or even eliminate the dreaded red ink. Peer review is simply getting a friend to look over your paper for mistakes you can fix or clarifications you can make. If you use peer review you must also know how to peer review.
The first thing you need to be sure of is that you are positive and supportive, offer complements on strong points you find to give them some encouragement. You wouldn't want someone to be mean when reviewing your paper. Next you need to make suggestions on what they can fix and be specific in your ideas for corrections.
Peer editing is a great idea, as long as the partners are positive and offer compliments. Good Post!
ReplyDeleteI agree that peer editing can eliminate the chance for the red inked paper. I know from experience that if you get a peer who is willing to do a good job looking over your paper and you actually keep in mind what he or she suggests, it can create a major improvement.
