Write your own Peer Review Questions

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT the reviewer’s job to comment on every single issue that they see. Both the writer and the reviewer must prioritize the most pressing issues. Or you can see it as

Writing your own questions for your peer reviewer to answer has the benefit of helping you to assess how your essay is currently doing. And it takes some pressure off the reviewer too, making it easier for them to address your concerns efficiently.

When writing your own peer review questions, BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE! Questions like “how clear is my thesis?” are really broad and unhelpful. Broad, unhelpful questions tend to get broad, unhelpful answers.

You can also ask for particular suggestions about how to solve a specific issue that you already recognize. Give your assessment of what’s going on in a particular passage and explain the options you’re considering, or ask the reviewer to diagnose the cause of the problem and offer advice on how to fix it.

Point out specific passages, paragraphs, sentences. For example, “In the second paragraph on p. 3…” or “On p. 2, the sentence beginning ____” or “in my introduction, conclusion, 5th body paragraph…”

Focus on higher-order concerns dealing with argument, evidence and analysis, source integration, and overall organization/logic. Save questions about word choice and sentence structure for cases when rephrasing a key sentence or choosing a different word will improve the clarity of the arguments and analysis.
