Peer review

FEEDBACK INSTRUCTIONS

Write brief answers to the following questions about each student’s draft paper:

1. Is the evaluation question clearly written and easy to understand? If not, why?
2. Are the methods described in enough detail that someone else performing the work would know exactly what to do? If not, what details are missing?
3. Would completing the methods described provide a strong, credible answer to the evaluation question? If not, why? For example, is there important evidence (data) that would be missing?
4. Do the methods seem feasible? For example, is the desired data accessible? Would the author have time to complete the methods?
5. What argument in section 5 (relevance) will the intended readers find the most persuasive explanation of why the evaluation is needed?
6. Overall assessment
