Peer Review of Shauna Bratton (my section)

In this post I'll be peer reviewing a student in my section, Shaunna Bratton. So this is 9a. Here we go.

The activity- a recommendation about form 
I know I did this twice but I think I'm kinda good at it. The project is here

The content part of your QRG is awesome! The only thing I would suggest is that only the first page of it looks like it could be a QRG. Try to use white space a little more- I think the length of your paragraphs is good but spacing them out more would make it easier to read. Additionally more images, columns, basic genre conventions of a QRG would make this spot on. Also, I think you have really good natural transitions between paragraphs due to your different genres. Making it more obvious that this is a new topic would make the article go even more smoothly, I would suggest big headings over as many paragraphs as is reasonable. That way it will be easier to skim. Great start!!


How I helped: I did form twice because now I know how the form of a QRG should really look, so again I wanted to help others in this genre. I think I was able to offer both general and specific suggestions so that she can pick what works best with her subject area. 


From Student's Guide: Again I think I considered mostly the organization factor but also the transitions, because in a QRG I think it's really important to make those super visible so that it can be skimmed. 


What I admired: The content and sources cited! Physiology can't be an easy major and I liked how she went about explaining the different genres and things of that major. I also thought the conclusion left me with a great sense of what I had just read.
