6 Quiz: Effective Peer Review and Features of Argument Genres
Question 1
Which of the following would be the most helpful comment on a peer review sheet in the section
on “balance” in writing?
I did notice that in paragraph 4, while you presented opposing viewpoints (sources and
your own logical ideas for opposition), the paragraph was mostly evidence. You refuted
your Smith source in one sentence; I would work toward fully addressing every opposing
concept fully for argument strength and for balance, so that your voice is the loudest one.
You have sources sometimes that you don’t explain very well; be sure to explain your
sources.
Balance: Everything is pretty well balanced. Good work!
It looks like you have about 5% of your paper quoted. That’s a good balance!
