In this blog post, I reflect on my peer review of Emily Bond. Here is a link to her open post to peer reviewers for her essay titled "Writing in my Future Career".
My Peer Review
I chose to evaluate the form of Emily's standard college essay. This meant I looked closely at the genre conventions, and the presentation of the content within those parameters. I hope that my suggestions to incorporate strong thesis statements in each paragraph, and to vary sentence structure and vocabulary use help Emily in her editing process. I hope that these suggestions will assist with more consistent audience involvement and flow of her essay.
Course Incorporation
I tried to incorporate points brought up in class in my evaluation of the essay. For example, I considered greatly the conventions of a standard college essay. These fueled my internal "rubric" for this peer review, and I referenced the thesis sentences, introduction, conclusion, and body paragraphs in my comment on her blog post.
Additionally, sentence variation is brought up in the Student's Guide, so I found it important to mention as a suggestion in terms of overall flow of the essay.
Admiration
I admire that Emily was so thorough in explaining each topic presented in her essay. Furthermore, every paragraph included multiple relevant claims, followed by extensive but not overdone explanations and evidence. All of the information, which did cover a lot of relevant and important points, was displayed neatly within the boundaries of standard college essay genre conventions.
