assignment

Instructions

1. Open the audience analysis assignment to be familiar with the assignment and criteria while responding to these questions.
2. On another tab, have the “peer review sample.docx” (available via Unit 1 Peer Review and Final Draft Submission Folder) document open to help guide your responses.
3. Select a draft to review that has not already been reviewed or only has one review.
4. Enter your feedback in the “Audience Analysis Peer Review Form” and return the “Audience Analysis Peer Review Form” to your peer.

Your narrative responses must be in complete sentences and must use language found in “peer review sample”

1. The analysis addresses all questions for analysis. If not, then list all of the missing responses to questions for your peer. I did not see where the question, “was there advertising addressed?” or “To what extent does the websites use technical language” be addressed.

• The analysis is well organized. It has a clear structure with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. If there is not a clear structure, provide a comment about how to make the structure clearer. The paper did have a clear introduction, body and conclusion.

• The memo includes a clear analysis of the two web sites, including comparison and contrast of the sites themselves and their target audiences. It does not just describe. If there is not a clear analysis of a technical and non-technical website, provide feedback to your peer on where the analysis needs to be in the document. Point out any areas where there is description. The why was addressed to all questions and there was a clear analysis of both websites.

• it uses examples from the Websites to support major points. The use of examples is selective and to-the-point. The examples are included in order to illustrate the analysis point and not to fill the page with words. There are no long direct quotations (defined as more than 3 lines) from the analyzed Websites. No long direct quotations were used, and the analysis had a steady flow.

• The student explains how the examples relate back to the analysis. If there are any deviations to these criteria, provide your peer with feedback using the peer review worksheet templates to guide your responses. There were no deviations from the analysis.

• The memo is formatted correctly following the specified guidelines for memos from Chapter 11. APA citation style is used when needed. If there are errors, point those out to your peer. The format followed APA guidelines.

• Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct. Minimum word requirement is met. If there are errors, point those out to your peer. In paragraph 4 you said, “Medline Plus contains an option to find an expert which connect the reader to connect with credible sources and include the directory for the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases ” which was a little confusing. I would re-word it so that it is clear what it is that you are trying to say. In that same paragraph you said, “WebMD’s primary audience would be people who are wondering about what the disease is in general and is not completely a guide to all sources.” This is also just a little confusing where it says completely and I am not quite sure what you meant. In paragraph 5 you said, “MedLine Plus first person pronouns and is very concise.” Forgive me if I am wrong but I believe you meant to say, Medline Plus uses first person pronouns and is very concise.

• Rate how well the paper aligns with the assignment guidelines (minimal = does not meet assignment guidelines; medium = meets about 75% of the assignment guidelines; very high = meets 95% or above of the assignment guidelines)

Minimal

Low

Medium

High

Very high

• Suggestions for meeting the assignment guidelines: Make sure that you answer all of the questions and have a clear “why” as to the reason why they did certain things on each website.

1. Write a final comment to your peer about two of the overall strengths and one overall weakness of the first draft. Overall, I would say that you did a great job. I look forward to seeing the final draft!
