M6.3 peer review

Submission Instructions

In Module 6, make sure you have completed the following required pieces of the Global Problem Peer Review Milestone:

• Comments on your peer’s document via the document viewer tools (highlight, comment, text)
• Summary comments in the comments box

PART 1You are expecte

d to leave constructive comments for your peer in two places. First, you should leave comments on the document itself using the doc viewer, as shown in the video above. You should use the highlight, text, and comments tools to “mark up” your peer’s document with feedback as if you were writing on their paper copy with a pen. Do not focus on little details like writing errors, typos, or APA style. Instead, your comments should focus on the content, making sure to address the following:

• Is their introduction paragraph clear? Does it grab your attention?
• Is the thesis statement clear, concise, and argumentative? Is it in the correct location as the last sentence of the introduction?
• Does their literature review include a critical analysis of appropriate sources? Is it organized logically and is the information clear?
• Does their proposed solution section advocate for an equitable, ethical solution?
• Do they address cultural diversity effectively?
• Does their evidence from sources support their proposed solution and the main argument of each paragraph? If not, what is missing?

Guidelines for giving constructive feedback:

• Give positive feedback about things done well or liked very much, and explain why.
• Give critical feedback with the goal of helping your peer improve the quality of their research and writing.
• Use the rubric to guide the important points of your feedback.
• Ask questions when you are unsure of your peers thoughts or intent.

PART 2: Leave Summary Comments in the Comments Box

Once you’ve completed your “markup” of your peer’s work, you will leave some summary comments in the “Add a Comment” box on the right-hand side of the screen. Your summary comments must answer the following four questions:

• What was the strongest part of their submission?
• Do you understand their proposed solution and is their argument effective?
• What sections of the paper do they need to work on?
• What did you learn by reading their submission?
