Results / Discussion Peer Review (draft posted before class 4/20; peer review posted by 11:59pm on 4/24)

Using the student work we have read this term as models, and the PowerPoint from last class, create a working draft of your results/discussion section. This draft will probably not fit into one posting area, so create and post a link to a cloud stored version of your paper. Your original posting is due before class on April 20th.

The second part of this posting calls you to do a thorough review of a partner's results/discussion sections. The peer review is due before midnight on April 24th. You must review the work of a student who has not had his/her work reviewed as yet. Also, you must review the work of a student who you did NOT cover in our in-class peer review.

It will help to leave a brief message below someone's original posting indicating that you plan to review their work (so while you are doing the review someone else doesn't snap up your review and leave you in trouble). I recommend leaving an original message below someone's posting that reads something along the lines of: "I will cover your peer review." Once someone leaves this posting, it will help ensure that everyone gets a review.

Peer Review Instructions:

Number each paragraph and on a separate word document write a one sentence synopsis of each paragraph’s topic and purpose. Leave ample space between so you can write and elaborate further on each paragraph. If a paragraph seems to be going in multiple directions, note the different directions the paragraph takes and explore connections between divergent ideas.

Note key support for each paragraph  Evaluate how well the support/details are implemented. How well does the paragraph establish context and evidence? Is there a need for more details to expand a point or a need for more evidence or perhaps analysis of evidence to help deliver a point?

Create a ranking system to identify which paragraphs are most effective and which ones are less effective. Following your discoveries and inferences from your above sections, underscore aspects from each paragraph that need improvement and establish criteria for what works well in paragraphs that are strong and well developed. Look at transitions between different paragraphs and explore ways to improve transitions from one paragraph to the next.

Next, read the paper once more through; identify and look for a main point of theme that guides the results/discussion.  From your previous analysis, and multiple reads, determine what central claim is being presented. How clearly stated is the central finding? How can it be better stated? If there are a series of important claims, how could those claims be organized under one larger umbrella claim?

Come up with at least two questions to help the writer think critically about the direction of the results/discussion sections. What do you as a reader want to know more about?  Where is the piece most effective and why? Which details and part of the essay stand out as most memorable and effective and why? Where does this piece need to be improved? Be specific in your commentary of your peer’s work.

Post your feedback as a response to the writer's initial posting.

    Research Conducted by the Author
    Interview
    After careful research, it was time to conduct a research project on my own. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate if college freshman did or did not gain weight during their first semester. The targeted subjects were three females and three males that are currently in college. Each college students were given a series of questions and here are the results.
    The first student was Vy Tran, a college freshman at the University of Central Florida. During her first semester of college, she states that she gained seven pounds. Her reason to weight gain is the high levels of stress that was caused by school work. She has tried to lose weight and has been successful with dieting and exercise. The following female that was interview was Nathalie Marichal. She is currently a college freshman at Valencia College. Ms. Marichal did not gain any weight during her first semester of college; instead she lost ten pounds by portioning the amount of food that she would consume. The last female college student that was interviewed was Rose Mahdavieh. She was the only student that was interviewed who lost weight instead of gaining weight due to stress.
    The interviews with the male college students were a different story. All three males during their first semester of college gained weight. The first male that was interviewed was Daniel Kay, a college freshman at Valencia College. During his first semester of college, he gained thirteen pounds due to stress eating. He has not tried to lose weight because he feels comfortable with the way that he is now. The next student was Dimitri Conmichelos, who studies physics and engineering at Vassar College. In his interview, he states that his weight gained was caused when moved from Athens, Greece to the United States. The drastic change of countries really affected him that he started to eat more than usual. The final male college student that was interviewed was Jake Kelso, who is a current at the University of Central Florida. Jake gained twenty-two pounds during his first semester at the University of Central Florida due to not having his mother cook him healthy food.
    Discussion
    The study conducted by the author shows that the students who were interviewed, were prone to gain weight due to stress and not knowing how to manage that stress in a healthy way. In the study, four out of six freshman gained weight during their first semester of college. The ranges of finding what caused these freshmen to gain weight go from stress to not having their parents cook them healthy meals. Findings show that two girls, instead of gaining weight, lost weight due to loss of appetite because of stress. The rest of the subjects gained weight ranges from seven to twenty- two pounds.
