'Good paper!' I wouldn't change a thing!' - Unknown Students
What are some things you've been told in the past during peer review? Does it seem to be just surface-level feedback?
You have a lot of comma splices.

Does the ordering of your papargraphs and thoughts make sense to a reader?
Reflect on the type of support your use, if it is appropiate, and if it is enough for your audience to believe you.
Consider things with the clarity of your focus (thesis) and the clarity of language and word choice for your audience.
continue ➛
Ask questions if you are unclear.
Goal of Peer Review:
Read from the perspective of an interested reader. Offer suggestions on how to change something if you come across something that can be fixed.
Goal is constructive criticism. Don't be too complimneatry or too harsh.

A Checklist:
- Outlining is key; look at abstracts, transitions, etc.
- Check for clarity--does it all make sense? Title, thesis, beginning/ending, paragraphs, and connections
- An essay should have a clear point.
- How is your thesis measuring up?
- Is it too narrow or broad?
- How does the beginning draw the reader in
- What about the ending?
- Consider the support you provide with your writing.
- Does it support what you’re trying to read? Do you feel that your readers have a good understanding of the subject?
- Consider evidence? Look at definitions, comparisons, narration, and other strategies.
Read from the perspective of an interested and unknown reader with a peer review.
continue ➛
Additional Considerations:
- Clear thesis and adequate support? How’s your ending and conclusion?
- Do you have a clear organization? Do you have transitions and good phrasing to help show the flow of thought?
- Can you tell the stance? Is it consistent?
- How does it engage with the audience? Good or is it lacking? Can it be improved in any way? Genre? Audience?
- Anything that needs defining? Clarifying or explaining?
- Do you have any visual pieces involved?
- How is the grammar, syntax, and sentence structure? Good transitions?
- Is the language and content appropriate?

Levels of Revision
Global issues = larger issues Local issues = smaller issues
Global issues are more concerned with thing like overall structure, organization and flow of the paper. Local issues are more smaller details like grammar, mechanics, and puncation.
