Using Reciprocal Peer Review to Help Graduate Students Develop Scholarly Writing Skills
Palmer, Betsy; Major, Claire Howell
Journal of Faculty Development, v22 n3 p163-169 Sep 2008
We developed an innovative instructional method to actively engage students in writing and critiquing scholarly work. We tested the effectiveness of this pedagogy using a mixed methods research design. Compared to control group peers, students in the experimental classes perceived gains in their own writing, research ability, and motivation to publish. (Contains 2 tables.)
