Capstone Peer Review
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to encourage students’ critical thinking and to help students identify potential revision targets as they prepare their final Capstone Project drafts. Peer review also allows students to engage in teamwork and to practice using professional and respectful communication. You will provide a written revision document as well as short video assessment of your peer’s work. Instructions:
Begin by closely reading your peer’s project. You may wish to compare it the Capstone Project Directions to provide context for your reading. Take notes as you read your peer’s document. Then, consider the following points below. Respond to each point and type up your notes in a clearly organized document. Make sure the feedback is clear and respectful and that your write-up uses complete sentences.
Written Revision Document
Please discuss the following in your write-up:
1.
Discuss how well the writer clearly identifies a problem in need of solution. Explain if the problem is described so that almost any reader could understand it. If there are terms that are not easily understood, please discuss which parts need more information. Comment on if the writer allowed readers to “feel” the problem or if more information is needed to get readers to care about this project. The writer clearly defines her issues and addressed it by coming up with a solution. Her solution was to use the COVID-19 fund for classrooms to get parents to engage more. I clearly understood her problem and her solution that was identified. 2.
Discuss how well the writer demonstrated that past efforts to solve the problem have fallen short in certain ways. Explain if you have difficulty understanding why those solutions have not solved the problem (and if this is discussed in detail) and what additional information is required.
The writer demonstrated the past efforts to solve the problem. The solution was given to fill in the areas where the parents have fallen short during the pandemic. It’s clear that I think parents were struggling to survive during the pandemic so I think it affected them no matter what. It is hard to juggle everything on top of being active in your children’s school. 3.
Discuss whether or not the writer identified a new proposed solution and if the description is detailed enough. Explore how well you understand why the solution will
address the problem and what (if any) addition information is needed. Review how well has the writer outlined the processes required to put the solution into play. The proposal should be clearly discussed in full detail and contain information about the timeline, the materials required, funding needed, etc. That is, the plan should be very specific and use source material to back up the claims and ideas presented.
The writer clearly defined her proposal to the solution. The description is very detailed and addresses the issue of parent engagement and how they can implement this change. I think she did a great job and no further. Information is needed. Her resources are very reliable and creditable. 4.
Please comment on the author’s discussion of the ethical dimensions of the project. The project should offer a rather robust discussion of the ethical dimensions of their work. If this is missing, explain how you see the student’s project aligning with what we have discussed and reviewed in the textbook this semester. Ethical dimensions were defined in her paper as parents have other things to do but they still need to be engaged within the school. I think that being engaged with parents and family is difficult because not everyone wants to engage with other parents. 5.
Explore the author’s discussion of counter-arguments and how well the author refutes
such arguments. If the author does not have a section on counter-arguments, provide some clear counter-arguments that you think others might have about the project. The authors discussion of counter arguments is well thought out and refuse the other side of the argument. I think that by eloping counter arguments we can gain a perspective as to why parents were not engaging. 6.
Consider the proposed solution from every angle you can imagine. Point out any flaws
in reasoning that you see. Point out any unintended consequences that the writer seems not to have dealt with. Apply the education and training you’ve received in your major to this essay and discuss how your background allows you to identify “loopholes” in the solution.
I really didn’t see to many flaws, but I would have included different ideas of funding other than the COVID-19 money grant. The funding can sometimes come short because it’s so far past covid who knows how much money is even available for these schools. 7.
Explain how well the writer included--throughout the draft--appropriate and trustworthy research material to provide necessary context and support the writer’s ideas. Check to see if the sources are timely and from credible sources by reviewing the References page. Note any sources that seem unreliable and/or out of date. Explain if the research material is appropriately documented. Please point out any passage that you believe requires some outside context or support.
The rough draft was really well done, and I think she just has to refine a bit more. The refences were all credible and dated appropriately. 8.
Please point out any passages that were difficult to move through--if there are any.
I didn’t see any passages that were difficult to read or move through. It all flowed really well. 9.
Discuss if the tone of the draft appropriate to its intended audience. The tone of the draft is appropriate, and the audience is the educators or family.
10. Finally, look at the essay’s current format. Discuss how well the project appears to use
proper style and if the project contains the required components (Cover Page, Executive Summary, Table of Contents, etc.). If any components are missing, please advise your peer on what will need to be added to the final draft based on the requirements. The project appears to have great format and covers all required data. I think Jessica did
a great job with her capstone project and have clearly outlined a problem to the issues.
