Prepare your feedback classmates evaluation
Prepare feedback by following this specific process:
First, quickly read the draft all the way through. Do not stop to write notes, but highlight any words or sentences that you don’t easily understand.
Next, reread the draft carefully and jot down answers to the following questions:
- Is the evaluation question specific, feasible, and easy to understand? If not, why? And are all terms defined as needed?
- If the author completed the methods described, would s/he have a strong, credible answer to the evaluation question? Why or why not? For example, is there important evidence (data) that would be missing? Would any of the methods provide unnecessarydata?
- Do the methods seem feasible and realistic? For example, is the desired data accessible? Would the author have time to complete the methods? What details of the methods need to be explained more fully?
- Overall assessment
- What is the strongest element of the draft?
- What would be the single most useful revision the author could make?
