Opis

This study examined whether asynchronous peer review (APR) affected revision. A Web-based program, Calibrated Peer Review, was used to support the peer review process. American university students from two classes participated in this study. The treatment, i.e., APR, was administered to the two classes in a counter-balanced manner. The entire APR process was found to serve as a catalyst for triggering a great number of surface-based and text-based revisions. Accordingly, revision frequency seemed to enhance the holistic quality as well as the four primary traits of argumentative writing.
