360 Portfolio Cover Letter Peer Review Sheet

Writer:

Susana Garcia

Assessor: Jose Ramirez

Please read two or three of your peerss cover letters. Give the most specific advice that you can with
regard to these questions:
1. Does the letter directly address ALL of
our student learning outcomes?
2. Does the letter support its claims about
how the portfolio demonstrates the
writers achievement of our SLOs with
specific evidence from actual portfolio
documents? Heres an example of
specific evidence: In the third
paragraph of my memo, I acknowledge
that Nat Geo doesnt have a lot of the
current-events content that many
educators like to see on college
campuses, but I argue that Nat Geos
implicit environmental and social point
of view makes up for this perceived lack.
This shows that Im able to consider and
present fairly the merits of different
viewpoints.
3. Were you doubtful about or
unpersuaded by any of the writers
claims about a particular SLO?
4. Is the letter organized logically and
efficiently, or could you suggest ways to
improve the organization (topic
sentences, transitions, P order, thesis)?
5. Does the cover letter use letter
formatting?
6. Are the letters sentences effective and
clear?

Comments: Overall its a persuasive letter, but the conclusion could be a bit more
substantive. Maybe mention how you will use the SLOs specifically to benefit you in your
major or other classes youre taking.
