Practice Peer Reviews for Scientific Claims: No Late Work Accepted

Peer Reviews- Done Individually

You will be reviewing an example scientific claims flyer.

This practice peer review will help prepare you for reviewing your actual peer's flyers, and it will help you understand how to put together a good flyer. Peer review is a huge part of scientific research, and by taking part in this process, you are practicing a skill you may use in your career. Even if you never peer review another project, taking part in peer review will help you improve your own writing and better understand what peer review means for scientific fields.

Flyer to review: choose 2

Download the flyers, or preview to read them on this canvas page. Choose 2 of these to review.

• • • 1st flyer you will read and give and answer the questions embedded in this Peer Review Template.
    • 2nd flyer you will read, answer the questions and then give a final grade.

Each of these flyer could improve in different ways. One or more flyer may be missing some requirements, not fully address the claim, not connect evidence to the claim with sufficient reasoning, have visual issues that make it hard to read or other issues. Your job is to tell this imaginary peer how to improve their flyer.

This assignment will also help you get an idea of what you want your flyer to look like, and what you'll need to do to get there.
