Revising

If time permits,  I try to read and respond to rough drafts.  What usually works best at this stage is to have students complete a peer evaluation.  I place students into groups of three and have them read each other's papers in order to make suggestions and ask questions.  Each student has to complete a Revision Response for each person in their group.  I try to set a limit of ten minutes per paper, so that students do not have time to wander off topic.
