Peer review of drafts

March 31 - Peer review of drafts
The semester is rapidly coming to a close and the defense of each Honors in the Major project will take place within the next three weeks.

Everyone has made significant progress on their papers.  Today's task was to read each others' drafts.  We had a small group today since Brent and Tyler are presenting their papers off-campus (Tyler at Ithaca College and Brent in San Diego), but enough to make it work.

We first discussed the status of data sets (Sara has over 450 responses to her online survey!; Justin has completed his data collection process) and the structure of the papers.  Jorge showed Justin and Sara how he presented results in his first draft via neat, tidy, and clear tables.

Jorge and I traded papers and Justin and Sara traded papers.  We took the rest of the hour reading the drafts and making comments.  Ultimately this led to some great conversations about the direction that the papers are taking.

I am very excited to see the final products!
