The “Frankenstein” results are in, and I'm happy with the peer assessments. The downside I see to the comments offered up is that only three fellow students weighed in. This is the fewest respondents I've had review my work, so perhaps this turned out to be a light week for submissions. I've always been a slow reader, so I'm finding it challenging to complete the reading and writing requirements on time. Thankfully, I've whipped my lazy brain into shape and have settled into a routine. Here's hoping my head of steam doesn't evaporate before we turn in our final essay.
I need to move on to a little Hawthorne this evening, so here is the feedback on my Unit 4 assignment:
FORM
student1 → Solid form, use of language and structure. Logical flow of argument. The grammar and words are well used, the writer is clear about what s/he wants to say.
student2 → I thought your writing was good. I really have no criticism.
student4 → Dang, this is really good!
Score from your peers: 2.5
CONTENT
student1 → First of all, better essay I've read until now. First 6 I am going to give :D You notice something very interesting from the very first line of your essay, with the Dr not wanting to give the creature a name. I really enjoyed the comparison with "Werther". "this is what rips each of them away from those whom they love." Loved this. I enjoyed the topic you chose and your writing, you made your thesis clear and convincent, that's why I am giving you a 6.
student2 → At first read-through, I had intended to give you a "1" for content. I have not read "The Sorrows of Young Werther," and I don't think it's fair to your audience to assume knowledge on their part. However, I had another essay to grade where all the person did was sum up the story, and that's even more unacceptable, so they're getting the "1." But next time, at least please sum up the story to which you're comparing the assignment, so that the reader will have some frame of reference. I know space is limited in these essays, but leaving that out is false economy.
student4 → Again, great job! Very well laid out, easy to understand, and incredibly insightful. Kudos on keeping your references in the works cited section too, to save you some words in the main essay. Really, very impressive indeed.
Score from your peers: 3
Please write here any other comments which you feel might be of use to you or the writer of this essay.
student1 → Keep up the good work, hope to read more from you! I wish I could have a chat with you someday :)
