Peerceptiv is designed to encourage high-level critical thinking among students. The most significant value of Peerceptiv comes in helping students analyze and revise their work at a higher level of content, organization, and argument structure. Thus, the best writing-related reviewing prompts are focused on the content, organization, and argument structure of a student’s work. The research behind Peerceptiv has shown that feedback focused entirely on grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation reduces students' critical thinking and becomes simply a means for editing rather than encouraging critical analysis.
