Introduction
While drafting the 1st and 3rd stages of your memo that critically examines a moral problem in the workplace, you will receive input from a peer classmate, and in turn, you will provide input to him/her. This peer review process will take place over two weeks for each stage of your memo:
Directions
Following are the instructions for this assignment:
By the end of the first week, do the following:
Draft the stage of your memo. Spend the bulk of your time on your draft rather than the revised version that you submit to your instructor. In other words, make your draft as well-thought-out as possible.
Go to the Sorting Hat and look for the peer to whom your instructor has assigned you.
Email your partner your paper by 11:59pm on Tuesday.
By Saturday of the second week, do the following:
Review your peer’s memo. Do not edit it, in other words, do not post a document with tracked changes or comments. Instead, focus on the substance. Specifically, create a Word document, and write out each of the following questions and your answer to it:
1) How sufficient are the answers to the questions?
2) What facts might be missing? What are their sources?
3) What values might be missing? What are their sources?
4) What areas might be confusing?
Thus, your Word document should contain the aforementioned four questions and their four answers. If you suggest changes, explain them as clearly as possible. If you are answering a question (e.g., regarding sufficiency) and find you have no suggested changes, give at least one example of how it is exemplary.
Email your Word document with your answers to the aforementioned questions to your partner and CC me.
Receive your peer’s comments on your memo, use them to revise your memo as you see fit, and submit the revision to your instructor, by the end of the week.
Scoring
You can earn up to 5 points for each peer review. Follow all of the instructions, ensuring your answers to the questions (a) strengthen your peer’s analysis (3 points) and (b) avoid vague statements while defining terms (2 points). If you fail to submit your draft memo or comments to your peer by the deadlines, you will receive an automatic 0 for this assignment.
