An Introduction to WAC Model how to handle divergent adviceRemind students that they are responsible for the final drafts they submit to you, but that they should carefully weigh each comment they receive from a peer reviewer.

Students need not choose one of the suggested revisions, but they should note that multiple suggestions pointed at the same part of a paper typically highlight a place where some revision is necessary for readers. |
