HW2 – your participation as a reviewer

You will receive two articles sent in electronic format (MS Word, PC compatible) labeled by author’s last name and –1 or –2, indicating your role as the primary or secondary reviewer, respectively. Please leave the file named as it was sent to you, do not modify.

Add your comments/critiques/suggestions directly into the electronic documents using the MS Word ‘Track Changes’ Tool (select Tools / Track Changes / Highlight Changes / Track changes while editing). Please make your edits anonymous by configuring your computer as follows (this is important, let me know if you have any questions or trouble with this). I will not accept a review that indicates the name of the reviewer in the file properties or track changes comments.

1. Open the MS Word document.

2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the User Information tab.

3. Type ‘Anonymous’ In the Name box and delete any initials in the Initials box.

4. Activate the ‘Track Changes’ (per above) feature and type your comments/edits directly into the document (remember to save periodically!). You should be seeing what you type highlighted and underlined.

5. Maintain the same file name (author’s last name with –1 or –2).

6. Download ‘Reviewer Evaluation Metrics’ (MS Word file) for specific factors to critique and the associated scoring evaluation breakdown (range of 0 to maximum points as indicated in parentheses for each criterion).

Email the redlined -1 and -2 files back to me. (preferred) You can also print out the paper to redline it the traditional way (with a red pen!) and turn in a hardcopy. If you choose to print and redline by hand, please put a ‘–1’ or ‘–2’ in the upper right hand corner of the first page.

Print and return a hardcopy of the completed score sheets. Do not put your name on these, just circle –1 or –2 and I can cross-reference who filled them out. CAETE students, electronic return only is ok.

Summary: HW 2 Deliverables

1. Redlined copy of both articles (-1 and -2) with your review comments inserted in the text (electronic preferred or hardcopy)
2. ‘Reviewer Evaluation Metrics’ score sheet for both papers you reviewed (-1 and –2) with scores tallied per the criteria provided (hardcopy only, except CAETE)

CAETE students – submit electronic copy only of all above materials, no need to send a hardcopy

Up to 1 point per day will be deducted from your final review grade (out of HW 2 = 5 pts total) for late submittals without approved extensions, including files returned to be corrected if you did not properly configure the anonymous settings. Please be courteous in getting these returned on time, as your peers need to have your inputs to complete their revision for resubmission.
