Peer Review Assignment

You will be randomly assigned to one peer to provide peer feedback on their code, tables and graphs. There is a template for filling in here.

How to do peer review:

Give thoughtful, constructive and considerate comments.
Be specific and concise.
Use the definitons in the template for ideas about criteria to evaluate and comment on.
Try to learn something new and point that out. Offer some praise.
If there is something you think needs improvement (nearly every project has these), offer suggestions on better approaches (in a kind way).

Grading for peer review:

All peer reviews are weighted equally as a portion of the 14% that peer review is worth in the course. Each review is scored out of 2 points.

(0 points) Review wasn’t done.

(1 point) Review needs work. It is generic and cannot be easily tied to the project being evaluated.

(2 points) Review is well thought out, offers a summary of the item being reviewed, offers both praise and kind criticism. For criticism, provides actual ideas of how to improve it or address the criticism.
