Peer Review for Mike Duffek

This final peer review was satisfying to complete but also made me make sure I had all of my bases covered on my own project as well.

• The name of the title and author for the project you reviewed.

I reviewed Mike Duffek’s video essay for project 4.

• A working hyperlink to the project you reviewed.

Mike's project can be found here.

• An explanation of the peer review activity you selected for the project you reviewed.

The peer review activity that I selected was the content suggestion activity. It helped give feedback to Mike if he was effective in what he put into his project and if he needed to add anything.

• An explanation of how you think you helped the author with your feedback (in other words, how did you help them make their work better?)

I think giving Mike positive feedback helped him be confident in what he produced but also had him make sure he did everything up to the standard he was trying to reach for.

• An explanation of how you incorporated something from the suggested Student’s Guide readings (or any other course materials, if you’d prefer) into your feedback.

I incorporated the part from the Student’s Guide that gives feedback based on the evidence provided. He did well in this part by talking about his life experiences that gave him credibility for this project.

·        One thing about their work that you admired or think you could learn from.

I can learn from Mike’s casualness in this project. It comes off as authentic and real which is one of the things he mentions as being important in this class as well.

The rough draft of the first body section of my project can be found here.

Re-edited Selection

The final draft of the first body section of my project can be found here.

1. How did the content change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the content is being communicated more effectively in the re-edited version?

I added video to this part which gives the body more of an entertainment factor.

1. How did the form change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the form is presenting the content more effectively in the re-edited version?

I made the video stabilized compared to what it was before in order to reduce the shaking of the camera during the video.

Re-edited Selection
The final draft of my intro can be found here.

1. How did the content change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the content is being communicated more effectively in the re-edited version?

I added a title page and also added music to the beginning as well.

2. How did the form change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the form is presenting the content more effectively in the re-edited version?

I added a transition in between the title page and the speaking during the intro.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers

I cannot believe we are on our final deadline, but here it is. My rough draft for project 4 can be found here.

• Key information about your particular project that you would like anyone who peer reviews your draft to know.

If the slight change in my shirt part way through is too noticeable or draws attention away from my opinions, let me know.

• Major issues or weaknesses in the “Rough Cut” that you’re already aware of (as well as anything you’d like to know from your editors about those weaknesses).

I have not added any music, credits, or transitions to my project yet.

• Major virtues or strengths in the “Rough Cut” that you’re already aware of (as well as anything you’d like to know from your editors about those strengths)

I think that I make very good points about my development over the semester and I think I do a good job at how I articulate these points as well.
