14-850: INSuRE Cybersecurity Research - Fall 2017
Course Project: Peer Review (individual, 2x)
- Due: November 3, 2017, and December 8, 2017
- Description: In addition to the group project deliverables, each individual student in the class will complete two
peer-review assignments, one targeting the progress report and one targeting the final report. For each of these peer reviews,
students will perform a critical-yet-constructive review of a draft report prepared by a different project team. Each peer review
must include the following:
- A summary or re-statement of the project work and contributions as understood by the reviewer,
- Critical comments and constructive recommendations to authors about the effectiveness of their written report from the
reviewer's perspective, including comments about what was and was not easy to understand.
- Questions or recommendations to authors about what is missing from the report or what additional information would improve
the content or presentation of the report.
- Deliverables and Submission: For each peer review, each student must submit their review as a
.pdf
file
by the corresponding deadline. Submission will be via an individual deliverable in Canvas. Make sure your name is included in every file.
- Grading: Each individual peer review is worth a total of 10 points: two (2) points for summarizing the report, five (5)
points for contructive comments about the report content, and three (3) points for recommendations of additional content to improve the
report.
