Critique of Written Exercises

The process for critiquing papers is simple as long as each of you reads the requirements. Each critique will be done in Microsoft Word “Track Changes” and will be posted the following module on the discussion board in the area identified as “Critique of Written Assignment #.”    1. When you post your written exercise (for example, Written Exercise 3 during Module 3) on the discussion board, you are to post it as an attachment using Microsoft Word. Your instructor will grade your paper as normal and that grade will be reflected only in your individual grade book. The instructor will make comments, but these comments will be general in nature. 2. You will then download your partner’s paper and begin to critique it using Microsoft Word Track Changes. You will be looking for grammatical errors, content errors, APA formatting errors, and scholarly writing. Your critique is to be complete, as you will be graded on how well you provided feedback. 3. You will then post the critique as an attached Word document containing your feedback using Track Changes on the discussion board in the area identified as “Critique of Written Assignment #.” The board will always be listed in the following module’s menu (e.g., the “Critique of Written Assignment 3” board will be under Module 4). This will allow you to have a full week to critique each paper.  4. The individual that has been critiqued will be able to review the feedback and hopefully gain further insight and learning. The paper is not to be redone or reposted. The critique is only for your information, though the individual who has performed the critique will receive a grade for this activity.
