Annotated Bibs• In groups (at your clusters), everyone gather

around 1 or 2 active computers with other machines closed or with monitors shut off. No stragglers or non-participants.

• Compare one of the sample annotated bibliographies to the requirements listed on the assignment page. Focus on the summary, analysis, and evaluation of each source.

What is Peer Review?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sjkJXoRZxE

April 9, 2023 Week 3 8

Sample Peer Review Comments: What would you do?

• “In your thesis you say that Sparty’s giant head should be banned from football games, but your first paragraph seems to contradict that. I’m confused.”

• “This paper flows really well.”• “I don't see the point of paragraph 2. I think you

need to the main argument more quickly.” • “This paragraph needs more.”• “Your conclusion is good because the details

about Sparty’s head are memorable for the reader.”
