Peer Review
How do we offer writing help to a friend, classmate, team member, or colleague? We know the pitfalls. It's easier to offer vague praise—"Good job! I like this :)—than it is to offer constructive advice. It's easier to highlight sentence-level "errors" than it is to explain bigger-picture opportunities for real revision. The resources below offer starting points for providing effective feedback in ways that it can be heard and acted upon.
