No later than 11:59 on Wednesday, complete the two peer reviews that Canvas randomly assigns to you. &nbsp;The questions to answer are below. &nbsp;Your grade on this assignment is contingent on you uploading your paper, as well as answering the peer review questions that are below, THOROUGHLY and THOUGHTFULLY. &nbsp;Very brief answers will not earn you points&#8230;don&#8217;t kill yourself writing responses on and on, but please also take some time to be clear and thoughtful and detailed.<\/p>\n<p>Your responses are intended to help others in the course evaluate themselves&#8230;to tell what is strong and what might need improvement in their drafts. &nbsp;Please help one another in this way. &nbsp;I DO NOT look over drafts and give overall comments or do corrections for you, so make sure that your self review and this peer review assignment are done in such a way that you evaluate yourself honestly and help others improve their papers. &nbsp;If you have a SPECIFIC question about your draft (no &#8220;Will you look it over and let me know what you think?&#8221; type questions!), I will answer it via Canvas Inbox.<\/p>\n<p><b>PEER REVIEW QUESTIONS:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Any academic paper should have a THESIS behind it&#8230;a PURPOSE behind its discussion of the topic. &nbsp;Whether it is directly stated, or strongly implied, does this paper you are reviewing seem to have a thesis? &nbsp;What is its thesis, if it does? &nbsp;If it does not have a clear thesis, what might the reader make into the paper&#8217;s thesis? &nbsp;Remember, a thesis is something arguable, NOT A STATEMENT OF FACT OR COMMON KNOWLEDGE. &nbsp;For example, a thesis cannot be &#8220;Smartphones and social media take up a lot of our time and attention and can be a distraction.&#8221; &nbsp;That is a factual statement! &nbsp;A thesis is something that can be debated and contested and argued.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>2. I am BIG on papers being very detailed and specific. &nbsp;That is why you did that descriptive details assignment a couple weeks back. &nbsp;Does the draft you are reading seem to have enough specific, concrete detail in it so that you the reader can &#8220;see&#8221; the places, people, and situations clearly enough? &nbsp;If so, what details most impressed you? &nbsp;If not, where would you like to be told more specific detail?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>3. This essay should use quotes from the source readings in a significant, meaningful way, and incorporate those quotes smoothly. &nbsp;Comment on the paper&#8217;s use of material from the readings. &nbsp;Is the use adequate? Would you like more material from the readings to make things more &#8220;official&#8221; feeling? &nbsp;Does the paper rely TOO much on quotes? &nbsp;Are quotes smoothly incorporated into the text?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>4. What is your sense of the paper&#8217;s grammatical correctness and flow? &nbsp;Does this author need more attention on grammatical issues? &nbsp;Or does it flow clearly and smoothly?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>5. What is the best, strongest, most impressive aspect of this paper, and why do you feel that way?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>6. DO NOT WIMP OUT ON THIS QUESTION, EVERYONE!!! &nbsp;If you were to give this author one single piece of advice to improve this paper, what would it be? &nbsp;(DO NOT PUT SOMETHING LIKE &#8220;IT&#8217;S GREAT AS IS.&#8221;!)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>7. Ask the author of this paper any two questions. &nbsp;These can be anything having to do with the paper itself, the experiences discussed within it, etc. &nbsp;Just give two questions that the paper inspired.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peer Review for Essay #1 Due&nbsp;Monday&nbsp;by&nbsp;11:59pm &nbsp; Points&nbsp;10 &nbsp; Submitting&nbsp;a file upload This assignment is similar to what I do with rough drafts in my face to face classes in order to &#8220;workshop&#8221; essays before they are do in final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/peer-review-2\/\" class=\"read-more\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51607\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
