Learning About Peer Reviews

From the videos and slideshow I saw, I can definitely tell you there is a right and a wrong way to give a peer review. It is important to make sure that you stay positive but you don't get wrapped up in being nice that you forget to offer good criticism. When you offer criticism make sure that you are being specific and that you are offering advice. Don't waste that person's time by just telling them general statements. Being specific is something to strive for.

Another important point to remember about peer reviewing is that you need to make sure that you stay on topic. It can be tempting to go off topic at times when you are conversing. Fight the urge and focus on your task at hand. One final thing to remember is that you are working with another person. Don't be overly rude to them if you find a mistake. Remember to correct and always leave on a positive note.


Here are the links to the videos and the slide show.
