Day 13: Peer Perception and Peer-review

Today You Will Learn How:

• Explain the difference between editing (i.e. finding mistakes and offering corrections) and peer perception 
• Select appropriate words to avoid offense when offering opinions, suggestions, and clarifications to peers 
• Provide feedback on their peer’s writing related to how they perceive the main ideas and structure of the paper. 
• Negotiate meaning of peer comments and possible revisions/adjustments through discussion
