Peer review for Alexis Morrison
I gave a brief peer review of Alexis' It’s Singular They, Or So They Say on Not Very Onomatopoeic.
I mostly gave content suggestions. I suggested that both of the counter-arguments be strengthened to better fit the form of a public argument. I also gave a resource recommendation. I know that professors in the linguistics department could help with information to ground the subject in.
I think I helped show an area of weakness in the essay and showed how it could be improved.
Alexis did an excellent job in making her essay interesting by connecting it to the human struggle underlying the argument. I hope to due the same in my essay though it may not be as effective since string theory is not nearly as personal an issue as gender identity.

Peer Review A
http://fernatua.blogspot.com/2016/04/production-schedule.html?showComment=1459752741518
I made a resource recommendation on Fernando Coronado's production schedule on Fern's Blog. I did a podcast for my last project and have a few pieces of advice.
I pointed out the Gear to Go Center as a useful equipment resource and gave my thoughts on Audacity as an editing program though I couldn't fully recommend it. Choosing your tools wisely can smooth out the production of an unfamiliar medium like a podcast.
I also recommended that he put more time into script writing as I found that writing for audio recording had unique challenges and hurdles.
He did an good job in planning to spend a lot of time early in the project recording.

Editorial Report A
I've modified my introduction to the topic of my writing in Physics podcast to better introduce myself and establish credibility.
Old version
New version
I added a slight ethos appeal in mentioning my Major and university. I hadn't introduced myself or established my credibility well enough before.
I added a backing track from here to give the audio a better overall texture and retain listener attention. The track doesn't seem to be playing in the version linked.
