The peer review of your term paper is my attempt to inspire students to begin writing their term paper as well as helping them develop their ability to critique academic writing. Once I receive the rough drafts I will remove any identifying information and randomly distribute them on March 27. My grading of your final term paper will be informed in part, by your revisions based on the peer review.

I believe the above assessment criteria allows you, and the college, to attain the college-wide outcomes required for graduates to participate successfully in today's society.

Students arriving more than 15 minutes after the beginning of an examination cannot write that examination.
