Peer Review for David Keblosky

Let's Give Insight to a Classmate!

In this blog we're going to be looking at the rough cut of David's QRG called a Quick Look into the Rhetorical Life of an Engineer (Link here).

Let the Peer Reviewing Begin!

I'm going to be editing the form from David's QRG, so basically I'll be focusing on the conventions of the QRG and explaining what I think he can do better in it.

Comment for David:

Okay David I liked the QRG a lot, but we have to fix the form bud. The QRG has little to no pictures as of right now, which is a huuuuuuuuuge red flag. People need something that they can glance at quickly and navigate easily, which yours isn't set up for yet. Another not about the pictures, is that these will ease in your introduction as well. The content is there, but like I said I'm looking at form. Another recommendation would be to create more white space throughout your QRG. Right now it's kind of looking like an essay, so we need to fix that asap. Other than that I think it's looking good!

Back to the questions:

How did I make David's work better?

I think I provided David with some helpful tips that should definitely improve his QRG. Since I already did one for the last project, I think I was able to provide some really helpful information that will boost his score in the form side of the rubric. I suggested that he add pictures to his QRG to give breaks from the walls of text he had, and I also suggested for him to use more white space when doing the QRG. I think both of these improvements will make his project like more of a QRG rather than an essay. I'd like to think I really helped him out!

How I incorporated something from a student's guide?

I incorporated the idea that by adding pictures to his QRG, David will be able to make the introduction much smoother, which was highlighted on page 71 of "A student's guide". In the student's guide the introduction part says to edit in order to make sure it's more interesting. I think by adding pictures, David will easily make his post much more interesting in the introduction. An in class example that we viewed had an image on its front page that blew me away.

One thing I admired?

I admired the flow of the information, it seemed to blend really well with the topic. I think once it's organized differently it'll turn out great. At the end of the day, the information is what truly matters, so I definitely think having meaningful content is something I need to learn to keep in mind.
