Day 9: Peer Review 


Homework Check: Writing about Data
We will go over the short exercise first before beginning  our topic of the day--Peer Review

Part I: What is Effective Feedback? [10min]
We will briefly discuss how you feel about getting feedback from your peers and then analyze student feedback . Click here for the example feedback.

Part II: Person #1 Written Feedback [10-15 min]
Now, we will get into small groups (no more than 3)  and sit next to each other. I will be passing around a hard copy of the peer review sheets. 

First you will need to share you document electronically with your group, either via email or dropbox. 

Then, Everyone will work individually to complete the peer review form. However, you should ask questions to the writer if clarification is needed. 


Part III: Person #1 Oral Feedback [10-15 min]
After written review is completed and returned to the original author,  discuss your feedback with the reviewers. I will visit each groups/pairs and select a written comment on a review sheet for the group to discuss.

For example:
  • Comment – No unity in this paragraph.
  • Question(s) – What did you mean by “no unity” here? Do you mean I talked about more than one topic in the paragraph? Which topic should I focus on (which one is stronger)?
  • Comment – I disagree.
  • Question(s) – What did you disagree with? Why did you disagree? Does my example still make sense, though?
  • Comment – I think you should change this word to _________
  • Question(s) – Why is that word better? What did you think I meant here (to check for comprehension)? Thanks for the suggestion, but I really meant to say _____. Did my idea get through?
If feedback gets "stuck" encourage group discussion instead. Select one or two comments from certain peer reviews and ask the whole group for suggestions.


Part IV: Person #2 written and Oral Feedback [20-30 min]
Repeat the process again with the second group member.

Part IV: Person #3 written and Oral Feedback [20-30 min]
Repeat the process again for the final time with the third group member.
