Peer-to-peer

PROBLEM Medical peer review is not a new concept. In Ethics of the Physician, Syrian doctor, Ishap bin Ali Al Raha, (854-931) recommended that physicians keep excellent records such that if a patient died or was cured, the notes could be examined by local medical counsel to determine if the care had been appropriate. Throughout much of modern medicine, the predominant process of peer review was the audit. Quality Assurance became formalized in 1979, the chief goal being to determine if the…

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.

This is also my first time to be a Peer Mentor, so I got super excited. However, everything is not like what it seems. When I first received my cohort assignment email said that I would be a Peer Mentor for IESL level 1 and 2, I honestly got a little bit panic. I…

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.
