TERM PAPER PEER REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS
You will review each other’s first draft of your term paper. The goals of a peer review are to: 1)
help each other to improve your writing skills; 2) strengthen your editing skills; and 3) develop a
quality final term paper. On the due date for the first draft of the term paper, each student’s paper
will be given to one other student to review. The peer reviewer is assessing the author’s term paper
for 1) content, 2) organization, 3) grammar and style and 4) formatting. The peer reviewer will not
assign a mark to the paper being reviewed.
The peer reviewer will receive a mark out of 5%, based on completion of the attached Term Paper
Peer Review Form. Your mark will be based on the quality of the peer review (suggestions for
improvement in grammar and style, suggestions for improvement in content and analysis, etc.). The
author will take into account the peer reviewer’s comments in revising the term paper.
STEPS:
1. Read the whole paper at least once. Digest the whole before you begin your feedback.
2. Mark the paper itself, using the Term Paper Organization handout and checking formatting
against the Faculty of Natural Resources Management Writing Manual and Style Guide (or your
preferred style).
3. Using the attached form, write a summary of your peer review addressing: 1) content, 2)
organization, 3) grammar and style and 4) formatting. At the top of the peer review include the
course number, your name, the paper author’s name and term paper topic. When you have
completed the review, make a copy. Attach one copy to the term paper for the author and leave
the other loose for marking by the course Teaching Assistant. You will be assigned a mark out
of 5% for this peer review.
