We will be using a conference management system called EasyChair?. You will submit your paper to EasyChair? and perform your review in it. Reviews will be blind so the authors will not know who the review is written by.
1. Go here and create an account: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=siatgrm2017 2. Submit your paper through the system. It needs to be a PDF. 3. When you get a review request in email, please accept it. 4. Submit your review through email. Be respectful when you write your review. You need to be critical and helpful, but word your review in such a way that you would be comfortable saying the same thing to the person face-to-face.

There are some example paper reviews on this page here. They are focused on reviewing conference papers, but I think the general principles still apply. When you do your peer review of a classmate's proposal / paper, you'll want to assess each section and provide a critique including what could be improved and what is already well done. Look for issues of clarity, proper articulation of research questions, appropriate methods and methodology, etc.
