Quote three specific pieces of feedback (not the whole responses, just parts of responses) that you gave to someone else that you believe were most likely helpful to them in revising their own work. Include links to these comments. When I commented on Crissa’s email exchange I told her that I thought it would be a good idea to expand on the stages of dementia and to tell exactly where her client fit. I think that this will help tell more about her client and make her project better. To view this comment click here. I commented on Meridith’s journal entries and told her that I thought she should tell more about the approach that is being used with her client. I also wanted her to expand on this. I thought it would help the reader’s learn more about her client and make her project more complete. To see this comment click here.Another comment that I think was helpful is one that I made to Meridith’s interview transcript. I know that when I met with Mrs. McComas she told me that it would be a good idea to show my research in each project, so when I reviewed the transcript I noticed that there wasn’t any research present. I made the suggestion to add some research on something. To view this comment click here.
Examine your examples for the first two items above and write about what this information tells you about the kind of peer responses you give. I think that I am a good peer responder. Everytime I reviewed my classmates work I would think to myself, “What would make this better and what would I do differently?” I wanted to provide them with feedback that they could use and that would improve upon their project. I thought that this was very important because I want my classmates to do well on this project and I hope that I was a valuable source in thier efforts to improve upon their work.
Write a goal (behavioral objective) for yourself as a peer responder. Specifically (this is an important word as I do not mean generally), the next time you participate in a peer response group, what do you intend to do differently?Before responding to the work that I review I will read the work in its entirity, think about what I read and what could be done to improve the work, and critically review the work at hand so that my comments are helpful.
