Assignment 5 Peer Feedback Questions,
Part 2
List one aspect or point that you think is coming across most effectively. Is the report
professional, clear, substantial?
Comment on the cover page. Does it grab the reader’s attention? Does the title provide
information about what is in the report (instead of just mentioning the topic of the report)?
Your cover page is very clean and simple, which to me is appealing. It isn’t too busy or crowded
with words or images. I’m not sure you need to title it “Report on…,” I think you could just name
it “Remote Work Strategies for Meta” and have it be as effective. To give more information on
the information, you could say “Evaluating Remote Work…” or something similar.
Comment on the letter or memo of transmittal. Does it follow the guidelines described in our
readings?
Yes, the letter meets the expectations set forth in this course.
Comment on the executive summary. Does it provide a “mini-report?”
It does, however I think you need to work on the spacing. Is your whole report done in 14 pt or
16 pt font? I didn’t download it, but it looks large.
Comment on report tone. Remember that the report should be written in a more formal tone,
which usually means no personal pronouns (like “you,” “we,” etc.). A less formal tone can be
used in a letter or memo of transmittal.
The tone does remain professional and more formal. The only time that you use “you” is in the
Employee Well-being section when you say, “You should…” that should probable be changed to
Meta.
Comment on the table of contents layout and page design. Note in particular whether page
numbers are easy to read. Do they accurately reflect the appropriate sections for the report?
Based on the textbook and some videos we watched for this class, the TOC and Executive
Summary are prefatory and numbered differently from the main part of the report. Page 1 of
the report starts with your Introduction. I’m not sure how he’ll be on grading the details, but
page 302 in the textbook shows how prefatory pages are numbered i, ii, iii, iv and so on. I had a
hard time breaking mine into sections so they could have different footers.
Can particular parts be found quickly and easily? Make suggestions to improve headings,
subheadings, etc.
Sections are easily located.
Are visual aids effective? Are they labeled clearly? Are they introduced and integrated correctly
with the text?
You incorporated a lot of pictures in your report that, for the most part, are larger than your
charts. Figures 2 and 3 are kind of hard to read what stats are on the y-axis. I think that if you
made your font smaller, rather than 16 pt (that’s what it’s showing when I open Word), you
could make your figures larger, have the text wrap around them (if desired) and be able to see
the information they contain better.
Make any final comments. Remember: you have learned a great deal about professional
business writing this semester. Apply what you know to critiquing this draft.
I know that this is a rough draft, but with some polishing it can and will be much better. I would
go back through and make your spacing between sections and paragraphs more consistent.
Double check your references and how you cite them in text. The Editor feature of Word can
offer up some great suggestions.
