Guidelines for Peer Editing • Read before you write! • Your classmate deserves your best effort, so take the time to read carefully before you begin giving feedback.
Guidelines for Peer Editing • Think about the standard(s) the writer needs to meet, and provide feedback on how well the writer is meeting the standard(s).
Guidelines for Peer Editing • Editing isn’t personal, so make sure you focus on HONESTY in a CONSTRUCTIVE tone. • All comments should be specifically aimed at helping the writer meet/exceed the standard.
Guidelines for Peer Editing • Respect the writer’s privacy. • Don’t read other editor’s comments or look at their ratings. This could influence your judgment, and they are meant for the writer, not you.
Guidelines for Peer Editing • Stay on task; your time is limited, so make sure you remain focused. • When time is called to switch papers, do so immediately. If you need to say more to the writer, check the Follow Up box.
