How to Implement
How to Implement
Provide students with parameters for expected levels of participation. For instance, some instructors may require students to respond to each other on a discussion board. If so, we encourage explicitly laying out instructions for student responses. This includes how many peers students should respond to, how long the responses should be, and what the responses should cover. It would also help to include samples of what "good" responses look like.

Prof. Mariam Kushkaki includes the following examples in the discussion board instructions for her Critical Thinking & Intermediate Composition class that students can model their own peer feedback after:
"You've given a great overview of the history of [topic] in the introduction, and your point about X will help the reader understand Z. It looks like the thesis statement at the end is missing, though--be sure to include it so the reader will know what the rest of the paper will be about."
"The first claim you present in the first body paragraph is well-developed, and the quote right after serves as helpful evidence. You mention a strategy here that is from the X article we read--since we need to include quotes from the readings, this would be a good place to include a quote from the article that defines the strategy. You can check out the Quote Integration handout on the Project 1 module for ways to integrate the quote into your paper."
