The first peer review will be an in class review of the joint Research Assignment. You will each exchange a typed copy of your draft with another student. Read the draft, then respond to the following questions:

1. Are all of the required sections included and complete? Which, if any, sections require more work?
2. Is the summary clear and concise? Mark any sentences which you think are unnecessary or wordy.
3. How are the sources used in the Library Research section? Mark any information which is unclearly cited, or which seems to require a citation.
4. In the Reactions section, identify the thesis or main point. Is the thesis supported by the research?
5. Are the citations in the Literature Cited section correct and consistent?
6. Mark any sentence or grammatical errors you find. If an error is repeated, just make a note of it once.
7. If this were your report, what changes would you make? ("None" is not an acceptable response.)

Write your responses on a sheet of paper, and give it and the draft back to the author. I will collect peer reviews and drafts when I collect the final papers on Oct. 31.
