Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine the usefulness of peer feedback on APA–style research papers in a writing–intensive class. Subsequent to APA training, students were asked to review and provide feedback on a classmate’s APA–style research report for both content and formatting. Performance on this research report was then compared to performance on a previous semester’s written assignment, where the instructor provided feedback rather than peers. No statistical differences were found in the grades of the two sets of assignments, suggesting that feedback from trained peers could be as valuable as instructor feedback. Students were pleased with the peer feedback process as it not only gave them a chance to demonstrate competency in their newly acquired writing skills, but also provided an opportunity to receive insightful feedback from their peers.
