Revising a team-based academic research paper presents multiple challenges. Students are often given general advice to improve their prose: create a logical narrative, be concise, use the active tense and a variety of verbs, make references clear, use effective topic sentences, etc. Yet, for new writers, a laundry list of good writing practices can seem overwhelming, even debilitating, to improve their paper. Complicating matters is the challenge of writing a coherent document within a team and tactfully offering constructive criticism for co-authors. The team-based peer review guides are intended to address these challenges by sensitizing students to common writing errors and offering a straightforward approach to revise them, while providing direction on how to offer thoughtful comments for co-authors. The peer review guides contain four exercises that offer a step-by-step approach to support student’s revision process as they move from macro-level, big picture structural revisions to meso-level scrutiny at the paragraph level to micro-level line-editing. The four exercises are designed to be completed sequentially as students progress through their writing, but they can also be completed independently on an as needed basis.
