Peer group

As far as peer response is concerned, I have absolutely no experience having it done by anyone other than my wife. I have never read another person’s writing and given my critique or suggestions of how it should be written. As I watched A Peer Response Demonstration (2010) video, I found it very informative. I could see myself like the first person in the video. Like her, I wouldn’t want to be too critical because I would feel bad hurting someone’s feelings. I guess that is why I haven’t…

and for how long. Another possible variation is whether or not the participant mixes tobacco with the cannabis. 7. The participants of this study varied in age group. They ranged from college students to middle age (55). 8. No, I do not believe that the article used random assignment. I say this because they tested two participant groups, participants that were 55 and under that had lung cancer and the other were frequent cannabis users. They did a specific screening of lung cancer participants…

The age-old question: How many peer reviewed articles do I need to publish in order to make tenure? The answer is five. You need to publish five articles in order to make tenure. Just kidding! If only things were that simple. Just as PhD students often ask, “How long do you think my dissertation should be?” or “Do you think I have enough articles in my lit review?”, those in the tenure track often seek confirmation of that elusive number -- the quantity of journal articles needed to…

adolescent conformity or rebellion. No matter whether the teens are conformable or rebellious, it is true that their behaviour is there to help prove themselves and obtain freedom, or gain an amount of emotional support. Conformity is when a group of people are always obedient to others or follow the crowd under social pressure. Nowadays, we can see this situation clearly, especially in adolescent life. Most teenagers are conformable and under control by their parents who are very…

In her article, “Science Isn’t Broken,” Christie Aschwanden- a science and health journalist and recipient of a Santa Fe Institute Journalism Fellowship in Complexity Science- discusses the consequences resulting from the recent lack of peer-review, the portrayal of the scientific community due to these effects, and the true nature of research. According to Aschwanden (2015), one of the prominent contributors to the public’s lack of confidence in science is statistical manipulation and biases.…

experience with peer editing has overall been a positive experience for a couple reasons, the first being the ideas another person brings to your writing. My peers have always been supportive and helpful with my papers when it comes to my ideas not being totally organized. Getting another opinion has always been something that I have found helpful when I am writing, especially when my paper has not been completely finished. Although, when my paper is finished and I go through peer editing I get…

agreed/disagreed with. Pre-writing helped to pinpoint what my beliefs/ideas were in both the personal culture paper as well as the quote-directed paper. Peer review and tutoring really helped to improve the conciseness of my papers, drawing all my thoughts and ideas into clear, cohesive paragraphs that flowed smoothly from one to the next. My peers and my tutor also picked out errors that I tended to overlook; they were unbiased and were able to point out errors such as awkward wording and…

With increased peer pressure and opportunity, some are introduced to a parent’s worst nightmare that being the cause and effect of…
