Guidelines

The cornerstone of a successful peer review is trust and respect. As a reviewer, you will serve as editor, facilitator, and coach. Yours is the role of a compassionate professional. The author, too, is a professional, who is grateful for thefeedback, avoids defensive reactions and commentary, and tries to maintain an objective ear. The overarching goal of peer feedback is to help each writer achieve his or her own goals. Consider the following for providing and receiving constructive criticism:

As a Reviewer:

1. Select another student's final project rough draft to review. If a peer review has been already completed for that draft, choose another. You will submit your peer review to the Discussion Forum. Take the time to read it thoroughly. You will likely need to read it through several times. You may want to read the piece in its entirety and then jot down your first impressions. Then, you will want to read it a second (and even a third) time to develop your review.

2. You are critiquing the draft, not the person. Your goal is to help the author achieve his or her goal of producing a quality global strategic analysis report for his or her chosen multinational firm. Do not include your personal opinions about the subject matter. You may not be the intended audience for the piece, but to the best of your ability, analyze it as if you were the intended audience.

3. Critique the work based on the Final ProjectDocument.

3.1. The critique should start with the strengths. What works and why? Provide concrete examples.

3.2. Next, suggest areas for revision. Keep the tone positive and provide concrete suggestions for improvements.

Good Example: The executive summary was well written. It could be more concise, so for the next draft, I suggest editing it further.

Bad Example: The executive summary needs fixing. It was so confusing that I had to read it five times.

4. The final component should be an overall summary of your analysis of the draft.

As the Author:

1. Read the feedback carefully and determine how this can be used to improve your final report.

2. If after reading the feedback you have questions, feel free to pose them to the group or to discuss them with the instructor.

3. Remember, it is your writing. You are the ultimate decision maker on what goes into your report. You do not have to accept any of the suggestions for improvement if you do not want to; however, at the same time, carefully consider the comments.
