My final project can be found here<\/a><\/p>\n

Peer Review:<\/p>\n

To review my project, I asked three of my roommates to take a look at my project. I explained to them the background and aim of my project and the way the media platform was supposed to work. At this point, I had largely finished the project, but I wanted to know if there were any glaring mistakes in my analysis or difficulties with the platform that I had overlooked.<\/p>\n

I asked my roommates the following questions:<\/p>\n

1) Do you feel that the narrative flows well from one section to the next?<\/p>\n

2) Does the layout allow the user to understand the ways in which the different examples of symbolism often overlapped?<\/p>\n

3) Do you feel that my argument or presentation are lacking in any way? If yes, how so?<\/p>\n

4) Have I included enough primary source examples to craft a convincing analysis?<\/p>\n

I included the background, aim and media description with these questions and a link to the project in a word document, and I sent each roommate the document. I asked them all to look over the project and answer the questions, then send the document back to me.<\/p>\n

The first question received positive responses. Each critic reported that the analysis flowed well, though one claimed to have some trouble navigating Scalar.<\/p>\n

The second question also received positive responses. They each reported that the analysis clearly explained notes that employed multiple types of imagery. I was pleased with this response, but I had wanted to take it further. The Scalar Path Map should have shown the ways in which these images were interconnected by connecting them on the same path, but I ran into trouble getting the software to do cooperate. Instead, it would duplicate the page on the Path Map. I explained this struggle to the reviews, and I plan to work to correct the problem.<\/p>\n

My roommates gave me some criticism with the third questions. One complained that the interface was not user-friendly, and he suggested including images on the Path Map. Another, reminded me to emphasize that the analysis was my interpretation of the notes to avoid any confusion for readers.<\/p>\n

The fourth question also received positive responses. Each reviewer felt that I adequately supported my argument.<\/p>\n

The peer-review did not prove all that useful for (I think) two reasons. One, I used a working draft of the project for the peer review, so a lot of the questions were issues that I had already thought about in creating the draft. Two, the questions were a bit too pointed. I found that my only open-ended question received the most varied responses, so I should consider asking for suggestions instead of asking for an evaluation the next time I need to ask for friendly criticism.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
