When you receive emails from your teammates asking for feedback, click Reply All and write a polite and professional email with advice about how to make their work better.
In particular, please address the four following points in your reply to your teammates:
- Are there the main sections present: introduction, definitions, context, working definition, and references? If something is missing or needs development, please point that out to the author.
- In the definitions section, are there at least two library sourced definitions and are they discussed in the author’s own words?
- In the context section, how many sentences are quoted, are they all cited, and are they discussed in the author’s own words?
- Look over each in-text citation and reference and see if they follow APA format. You don’t have to correct them but if something seems off, you should recommend that the author double check these before turning in their work.
