Thursday, February 26

Due: Step 2 of Project 2 (Project Managment Brief) is due at the start of class for in-class peer review.

Steps for Peer Review

Work in teams of three to provide peer feedback on your Project Management Briefs (PMBs). Each reviewer should write two reviews, spending about 30 minutes on each. Write your peer review as a response to the person's blog entry/submission notes.

Authors: read the handout on "Eliciting Good Response" and then, following the guidelines, post your PMB to your blog with notes that will elicit good response. You should attach your document to the blog post in PDF format.

Reviewers: Read the author's notes and then write a response to them. In addition, you should comment on these aspects of the PMB:

  1. What is the strongest part of the Brief and why?
  2. Suggest one additional "persona" (a primary or secondary reader) who would likely interact with the document. What would s/he expect? What would his or her purpose be?
  3. Does the wireframe for the document clearly show all of its components? Is there anything missing?
  4. Please comment on the layout of the document in the wireframe.
  5. Does the color palette suit the document? Do the colors work well together? What would you suggest? What mood or ethos do the colors suggest?
  6. Have typographic styles been defined? Are they well suited to the rhetorical situation? What mood, ethos, or level of formality does the typography convey?
