Part A (II): Peer Review Report

You will have the opportunity to receive feedback on your briefing note from a fellow student, before you submit your final version. You will also provide feedback to a classmate on his/her note. The review process is invaluable; not only does it improve your work, it also gives you an opportunity to see and comment on others’ work— which then can inform your own. Your Open Learning Faculty Member will pair you with a classmate for this review or provide information on how students could pair themselves.

Before you start, go to the following links, which provide some general guidelines and recommendations for participating in a peer review process:

Carleton University. “Guidelines for Students – Peer Review”

While preparing your peer review report, attend to both the components and academic writing standards required, as follows.

Required Components

Are all of the required components that should be included in a briefing note present? (Refer back to the six components that should be included).

If not, recommend further information to include.

Discuss the analysis. Were the options presented thorough? Are there other options to consider? If you were the person responsible to act on the information contained in the briefing note, would you be comfortable doing so. If yes, let them know. If not, why not?

Grammar, Style, and Citations

Are there any grammatical or spelling problems?

Were citations included and properly done?

Does the writing flow well? Is it easy to follow?

Provide your report, including strengths and weaknesses, and points to be considered for possible improvements of the briefing report, to your peer. (25 marks)
