Name of Peer reviewer:

Name of paper author:

Paper title:

1. Thesis.

Copy and paste the thesis of the paper below. If you can’t find it briefly describe what you think it might be.

Does it clearly state the writer’s purpose for the paper?

Does it set the stage for the remainder of the paper?

How could it be improved in terms of stating the writer’s position or point-of-view?

Where is the thesis statement in the paper ... at the beginning? at the end? Is this positioning effective in terms of preparing the reader for what is to follow?

2. Introduction:

Does the introduction provide some general background regarding the topic of the paper?

Does the introduction make you want to keep reading? Why or why not?

By the end of the introduction do you know the purpose of the paper and how the author intends to address that purpose?

3. Introduction: Follow-through.

Having read the rest of the paper, did you find that the introduction gave you a good idea of what the author actually did address in the rest of the paper?

If not, what is the main point of the paper? Is there a main point?

4. Introduction & Conclusion.

Think about the relationship between the introduction and conclusion. Does the conclusion logically connect to the introduction and thesis statement? How?

Is it a successful conclusion in that it offers closure to the paper while emphasizing the main thesis strongly one last time?

5. Strategies of Development.

Is the paper logically organized into separate sections with headings that represent the major and minor points of the argument?

Are the sections of the paper organized into a logical sequence which supports the thesis statement?

What strategies of development do you see the author using on the paragraph level or in the paper as a whole? Which are the most successful?

11. Style I.

Is the point of view consistent throughout the paper?

Does the author use precise, formal language?

Does the writer use unnecessary repetition?

Conversely, does the author use repetition deliberately for rhetorical effect? Is that successful? Give examples as applicable.

12. Style II.

Does s/he vary the sentence structure?

Are there too many short, choppy sentences, or ones that are overly complex and need to be broken up?

How do the sentences flow into one another?

Do you find any places where it seems that author deliberately has manipulated the organization of his/her sentences to enhance this sense of flow?

Copy and paste one sentence that you liked and explain why you liked it.

Copy and paste one sentence that you thought could have been improved and why.
