08/28 Draft Feedback Discussion

Instructions

Step 1: Due by Thursday, August 30
Post the draft of your Info Sheet, and ask your group to look at anything you are trying to improve or anything you are worried about. Let them know the kind of advice you need. You can either upload your draft as an attachment or share a link to a Google Doc. Be sure that you have set Google Doc permissions so that anyone with the link can comment. (If you are late submitting a draft, your group may not have time to provide feedback.)

Step 2: Due by Tuesday, September 4 (end of the grace period)*
Provide feedback by replying to the drafts of the other members of your writing group.  Use the information on the Writing Groups page to provide constructive feedback that will help your group members make concrete improvements to their drafts. 

As you provide feedback, look for ways to say something new that will help the writer. You can incorporate comments that others in your group have made as well. 

*Normally the grace period ends on Mondays. Because of Labor Day, you get an extra day.

Assessment

I grade your peer review work based on completion, using two general questions:

• Did the person submit a draft for the item to their writing group?
• Did the person respond constructively to the drafts of all group members?

If the answer to both questions is “Yes,” you will earn a Complete (signified by a checkmark in Canvas Grades). If the answer to either question is “No,” you will earn an Incomplete (signified by an X in Canvas Grades). Peer Feedback is graded after the Grace Period ends, and it cannot be revised or completed after the Grace Period.
