Peer Editing Feedback Form
Guidelines
 Point of peer editing is NOT to tell anyone what is “wrong” - only to act as an interested
reader who wants to learn from the other person’s work.
 No apologizing by the writer or the reader!
 Help the reader express ideas clearly; do not argue about ideas expressed in the paper.
