Peer Review: Research Outline/Draft 1

Reviewer:____Edwin Contreras _________________

Reviewee:_________Jennifer Huerta____________

Directions:
Look at the content of your peers outline/draft. Make marginal comments and a summative comment for the author of the
paper which you are reviewing. Carefully consider the authors implementation of the P.I.E elements in each of their slices.
Also consider how and why they need to be changed. BE CLEAR about what you are saying and why you are saying it.

Keep in mind the following (but also include things you think should be added):
Does each P.I.E element do what it is supposed to in each of the slices?
Does each slice have only one flavor? (is the slice talking about more than one thing?)
Is each slice placed logically within the paper?
Did you understand the content of the slice as it was presented? Tell the author what you did understand and didnt.
Are the slices understandable for an outsider? Explain what the author can do to make it more understandable.
Did you understand the content of the paper as a whole? (Is this an effective research paper? Explain)

Write detailed and helpful comments that will help your peer consider how to better shape their slices
to make a well formed research paper.
