Project Assessment Peer Review

Find one of your peer's drafts of Step 4: Project Assessment
Document (Employment Project Assessment Document Draft). Download it,
and use the questions below to review the drafts. You can make comments
directly on the drafts (using comments on Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader
or Acrobat) and you can answer the questions by using the "add new
comment" function on their blog post. Be sure that you attach their
updated file to their blog post. Please refer to the guidelines in Step
4 of the Employment Project.

1. Did your partner use headings in their document?? Headings are an
important part of business writing, and you should being developing
better skills to use them in your own business writing.

2. Shorter paragraphs are another important aspect of business
writing. Are their paragraphs 4-8 sentences long?? If not, mark a new
paragraph within the existing paragraph with a comment.

3. Active verb choice is another important aspect of business
writing. Underline any good examples of active verbs. Circle any
weaker, passive verbs, like "to be" forms (is, was, are, were) and do,
does, has, have, etc.

4. Do their sentences have varied beginnings?? This is the easiest
way to achieve sentence variety and complexity. Bracket sentences that
you think can be more varied and complex.

5. Finally, review the questions for each aspect of Step 4. Did they
answer each one equally and fully?? Here, mention any that can be
better, more detailed, and more developed.
