Question 1

2 / 2 pts

Which of the following would be the most helpful reply to a classmates’ draft during peer review?

  “Sarah, I really liked this essay! You might want to go to the APA website, but otherwise, great work!”

  “Hi Sarah! Please see attached; I used track changes to fix all your grammar errors. Otherwise, super paper!”

  “Hi Sarah! Please see attached; I have thoroughly filled out the required peer review sheet for you with many comments and ideas regarding structure, flow, voice, and balance. Don’t hesitate to discuss further!”

  “Sarah, you really didn’t follow directions and I really don’t know what I can say to help.”

When you are asked to use a peer review sheet and to fill it out thoroughly, that is what you must do. All of the other answers offer little to nothing of value.

 

 

Question 2

2 / 2 pts

Which of the following is the most reasonable goal for peer review?

  Having all of your errors fixed

  Giving enough feedback to get a good grade

  Being an “extra set of eyes” for your classmates and getting “extra sets of eyes” from them toward a strong, more effective argument research essay

  Finding other students who wrote about a similar topic and using their paragraphs in your essay, just changing some words so it isn’t plagiarism

Our goal should be to give and receive the experience of a true “test reader” with an eye toward real improvement in our essay content.

 

 

Question 3

2 / 2 pts

Which of the following is the best synonym (word or phrase) for “peer reviewer”?

  Extra Grammar Editor

  Extra Citation Proofreader

  Critic

  Extra set of eyes

Peer review provides extra “sets of eyes” to give you a “test reader’s” perspective on how effective the elements of strong argument and essay-writing are. Peer-reviewers are not your editors or proofreaders, nor are they “critics”; their aim is to authentically share ideas for strengthening your essay toward your improvement.

 

 

Question 4

2 / 2 pts

Which of the following is the least helpful statement about the importance of peer review?

  Peer review is very important to the you as the reviewer, because you receive helpful comments from your classmates and because in reviewing others, you learn the concepts and techniques even better.

  Peer review is very important to the peers you review, and one of the primary reasons is that an equal, a classmate, with a fresh set of eyes, can help you in ways others cannot.

  Peer review is very important to the peers you review, and one of the primary reasons is that we all have unique strengths and can lend our perspective to others with those.

  Peer review is very important to the peers you review, and one of the primary reasons is because you are graded on it.

The important element of peer review is the intrinsic benefits gained through reviewing and by receiving reviews. You and your peers truly learn and grow when you engage authentically and robustly.

 

 

Question 5

2 / 2 pts

After your classmate has posted a full peer review of your draft to the discussion board, what should you do?

  Thank your reviewer for taking the time to make so many excellent suggestions. Then, move on to looking at your instructor’s feedback because peer review suggestions won’t help you.

  Thank your reviewer. Then, read the review, think about the review, and take some time to see how you can best apply the suggestions. Then, if you have questions for reviewer or would like to comment on how the review helped you, continue the conversation by replying again.

  Thank your reviewer. Then, read the review, think about the review, and take some time to write up a response to your reviewer expressing your outrage about being told your draft needs work.

  Thank your reviewer. Then, read the review, think about the review, and take some time to write up a long email to your instructor about how much you don’t like your classmates commenting on your writing because they aren’t qualified.

Peer review is a tool. You should read, consider, and try out applying your reviewer’s ideas, continuing to discuss respectfully if it helps you. You should not be offended if a peer is suggesting ideas, and you should value the review as important and useful.

 

 

Question 6

2 / 2 pts

The draft your classmate posted needs a ton of work. What should you do?

  Reply by noting that you cannot possibly review this because it’s a complete mess

  Reply by attaching a filled-out peer review sheet, with all categories addressed, noting in each category that you have no clue because it’s just really bad.

  Reply with a comment like, “Hey George! I think you attached the wrong thing. This isn’t what we were supposed to do."

  Get out a copy of the peer review sheet and get to work. Doing your best, and with a kind and helpful tone, note the specifics of what could be done to improve those crucial elements of a successful essay.

Sometimes peer review involves working with students who are really struggling. While you aren’t the teacher, you do have insight on the best approaches to writing this essay and can be of great value to your peer.

Question 9

2 / 2 pts

Which of the following is not true of argument genres?

  It doesn’t matter if we recognize them in our drafts or not because studying argument genre is just a “for your information” endeavor.

  They should be studied so we can conduct all of our arguments in the most effective ways.

  Your main supporting points will contain elements of genres, maybe one or more.

  We should be able to identify, in our thesis, which genre or genres are the driving pattern.

Our argument essays are full of a number of argument genres in the thesis and in various points. Learning good approaches to them is useful after drafting, so you can check your effectiveness in those places while revising.

Argument genres are patterns of development that appear in argument but also in other academic, professional, and real-world writing. The names of some of these patterns are “definition,” “values-based,” “cause and effect,” and “evaluation.”
