What Are Peer Reviews? What Is Different about Peer Reviews (and Grading of Writing) in This Class?

Merriam-Webster Online defines peer review as “a process by which something proposed (as for research or publication) is evaluated by a group of experts in the appropriate field.”

Because this course uses as sources only the required textbook and primaries provided in this course, you:

Cannot just write something like “good job” You must follow the rubric for the 5 Good Habits for Evidence
Can practice the skills of an expert in the content when you evaluate another student’s work. You must compare side by side the student’s paper with the page of the textbook or primary the student cited. Just ask if questions.
