Peer Feedback on Drafts of Assignments

In general, seeking feedback from your peers on your writing can be very valuable when it is permitted by the instructor.

In order to avoid collusion, however, ensure that you remain involved in the editing process. The process should not exclude you from the decisions being made about even minor editing choices in your paper.

Do not relinquish authorship over your paper. Rather, carefully consider feedback and the rationales driving it so that:

• you can choose how to best make use of the feedback
• you can learn from the feedback and become a better self-editor

To help you gather feedback from peers, consult the Peer Feedback Guide located in Resources.
