The document provides instructions for a COMM 202 tutorial that focuses on peer reviewing resumes. Students are instructed to sit in groups of 5 and submit one copy of their resume for review. The agenda includes TA feedback, resume peer review, and action items. The resume peer review section lists specific criteria to evaluate, including formatting, sections like profile, education, and work experience, branding, integration between resume and cover letter, and an overall assessment of the "wow factor." Students are given action items which include deadlines to submit final resumes and cover letters and attend networking events.
