This video tutorial presents actual cases of peer feedback and the reactions to this feedback by the authors. These cases illustrate the kinds of feedback that causes great annoyance to authors, and finishes with positive examples of good feedback.

The features of feedback that cause annoyance and appreciation in authors were derived from research on peer feedback in the Schunn lab based upon a system now called Peerceptiv . However, this tutorial is designed to be of relevance to all settings in which peer feedback on writing is used.
