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

Why is peer review important?

  It is somewhat important because you can get some of your grammar and APA fixed if you’re lucky enough to land in the “class brainiac’s” group.

  It is important because when you know you have peer reviews coming up, you don’t have to worry about grammar and APA; your peer’s role is to fix those items.

  It is important because you are in the unique position to be both an extra set of eyes, which is valuable in itself, and of having learned the same concepts and completed the same assignments as your peer.

  It is somewhat important but only because it is worth many more points than a normal discussion.

Peer review is important because you are true “peers” who have written drafts based on the same assignment and because you can read your peers’ work (and have yours read) objectively and with weeks of experience driving the review.

 

 

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

When posting a draft of your paper for review, which of the following should you avoid?

  Noting the content-related items you feel you need most help with, such as topic sentences or the conclusion

  Posting the best draft possible at this time so that your reviews are truly helpful

  Noting that you really hope no one has suggestions because you think your draft is already really good

  Thanking your reviewers ahead of time and noting that you look forward to their thoughts

You should be gracious and open to improvement, acknowledging that you would like extra eyes on your paper toward maximum effectiveness.

 

 

Question 7

2 / 2 pts

Read the following thesis statement and choose which argument genre best describes it: In fact, existing HIPAA laws, while not entirely useless, do contain elements that simply cause confusion and that are not applicable for the current population.

  Values-based position genre.

  Problem/solution argument genre.

Question 8

2 / 2 pts

  Values-based position genre

This thesis is best described as values-based because of its premise of a common value, an appeal to both sides’ better natures.

 

 

Question 9

2 / 2 pts

  Values-based position genre

  Definition argument genre

  Evaluation argument genre

This thesis is best described as problem/solution because its central stance proposes specific solutions to a proven problem.

 

 

Question 10

2 / 2 pts

Read the following thesis statement and choose which argument genre best describes it: The answer to the “Medicare for all” problem, then, lies not in what is right or wrong but in a definition of equality that serves the disadvantaged as much as the privileged.

  Values-based position genre

  Problem/solution argument genre

  Definition argument genre

  Evaluation argument genre

This thesis is best described as definition because it highlights a key term and suggests that defining it is crucial to the argument.
