Today, we're going to explore how peer feedback can enhance the quality of your Capstone Project. Why do you think feedback from classmates might be valuable?
Maybe because they can spot mistakes or areas I might have overlooked?
Exactly! Fresh eyes can often identify issues we miss. It's also a way to gain different perspectives on our arguments. Think about the acronym **C.R.I.T.I.C.**βConstructive, Respectful, Inquisitive, Timely, Insightful, Collaborative. This can remind us of the characteristics of effective feedback.
So, we should aim for feedback that helps us grow rather than just pointing out flaws?
Yes, that's the spirit! Constructive feedback is meant to be supportive and leads to our improvement.
Let's wrap up this session: remember that peer feedback offers new insights that can enhance your work, making it stronger overall.
Using a Peer Review Form

Now, let's talk about the structured peer review form. Why do you think having a structured feedback mechanism is useful?
It helps keep feedback organized and ensures we cover all important aspects of the project.
Exactly! A structured form allows us to systematically evaluate thesis clarity, evidence, and flow. Each of you will use this form to critique your classmate's work.
What if I find something really good? Do I mention that too?
Absolutely! Positive feedback is just as important as constructive criticism. Remember to give a balanced reviewβacknowledge strengths and suggest improvements.
To summarize, using a structured peer review form helps ensure that feedback is comprehensive and valuable for the revision process.
Categorizing Feedback

How should we classify the feedback we receive after peer reviews?
Maybe we can put them in categories like important changes we must make, things we should consider, or just suggestions?
Great observation! Categorizing feedback into **Must-Fix**, **Should-Consider**, and **Optional** helps in prioritizing. It makes the revision process more manageable.
So, 'Must-Fix' would be critical errors, right?
Exactly! Those are the issues that need immediate attention. The other two categories can guide your improvements but are less critical. Remember, effective categorization leads to efficient revisions.
That sounds like a smart way to handle feedback!
Revision Strategy

Finally, let's discuss how to implement a solid revision strategy after you receive feedback. What do you think this involves?
We need to go through the feedback and determine what changes we should make first.
Correct! After categorizing your feedback, start updating your draft. Track your changes and ensure you summarize what revisions you've made. This reflection helps clarify your process and improvements.
Should we also keep an eye out for cohesion while revising?
Absolutely! Maintaining cohesion through transitional phrases and clear structures is vital. It enhances the readability of your final work.
To conclude, developing a revision strategy is about systematic updates and clear tracking of your adjustments to elevate your project.

Peer Feedback and Revision
In this section, you will discover the pivotal role of peer feedback and revision in enhancing the quality of your Capstone Project. The emphasis is on receiving constructive criticism to refine your work through organized and systematic approaches. Effective peer review involves using a structured peer review form that assesses thesis clarity, evidence use, logical flow, citation accuracy, and writing style. After gathering feedback, you categorize the comments into three groups: Must-Fix (critical errors), Should-Consider (potential improvements), and Optional (nice-to-have suggestions).
This methodical categorization allows you to prioritize your revisions effectively. You'll also develop a revision strategy where you comprehensively update your draft, track changes meticulously, and summarize the major revisions made. Engaging in this reflective and iterative process is crucial for ensuring that your final presentation is not only well-researched but also clearly articulated and well-structured.

Structured Peer Review Form

β Structured Peer Review Form: Provide peers with a rubric covering thesis clarity, evidence use, logical flow, citation accuracy, and writing style.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, the focus is on the importance of giving structured feedback during peer reviews. A structured peer review form serves as a guideline for reviewing another student's work. This rubric should include specific areas that the reviewer should pay attention to, such as how clear the thesis is, how effectively evidence is used, how logical the flow of ideas is, how accurate the citations are, and the overall writing style. By providing such a rubric, the feedback becomes focused and constructive.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine you are a basketball coach reviewing a playerβs performance. Instead of giving vague comments like 'you need to improve,' you provide a checklist: shooting accuracy, defensive plays, and teamwork. This structured feedback helps the player know exactly what to work on to improve their game.
Feedback Synthesis

β Feedback Synthesis: After receiving comments, categorize them into 'Must-Fix' (e.g., incorrect citation format), 'Should-Consider' (e.g., strengthen counter-argument), and 'Optional' suggestions.
Detailed Explanation
This chunk emphasizes how to effectively process the feedback received from peers. After collecting comments, it's important to organize them into three categories: 'Must-Fix' items are things that are crucial for the work's quality, such as incorrect citations that need to be fixed immediately; 'Should-Consider' items are suggestions that could enhance the argument, like offering a stronger counter-argument; and 'Optional' suggestions are those that may improve the piece but are not critical, such as style changes. This categorization helps prioritize the revisions that need to be made.
Examples & Analogies
Think of it like organizing your grocery list. After seeing what you need, you separate the items into 'Essential' (like bread and milk), 'Important but not urgent' (like snacks), and 'Nice to have' (like a special dessert). This way, you ensure you get what you really need first.

β Revision Strategy: Update your draft systematically, tracking changes and summarizing revisions in a brief note at the end of your document.
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, the focus is on developing an effective strategy for revising a draft after receiving feedback. It's important to update your draft in a systematic manner, meaning you should address each of the issues identified in your feedback one at a time. As you make these changes, keep a record of what revisions you made and why in a summary note at the end of the document. This helps in tracking which areas have been improved and provides clarity on how your work has evolved.
Examples & Analogies
Consider it like renovating a house. You first take a list of repairs needed, tackle them one by one (like fixing leaky taps or painting walls), and keep a diary of changes made. Later, you can look back to see the transformations and ensure no area was overlooked.
