Happy stories from wrapping up this semester as a #NewPI :
Students in #wildlife pops this semester wrote short papers (4.5 - 5 pgs) about how #research has benefited the #conservation & or management of species of wildlife. (Thanks for the suggestion @BBQ_Ecologist !)
Students wrote their own papers & peer-reviewed another student's paper. I then graded the final papers.
Everyone was evaluated as an author and as an editor.
We took class time to discuss how to both give & receive/handle constructive criticism. (amazon.com/Writing-Withou…)
When they turned in their final #wildlife papers, students also submitted a short reflection on their experience with the peer-review process. Here's one of the better reflections:
I'll tweak aspects of this assignment in the future, but I'm pleased with the first implementation!
If anyone has done something similar with #writing in #STEM fields, or has suggestions for improvements, I'm happy to 👂
Thanks to @gombessagirl for finding the book 😆
