Peer Review Writing Resource
Report Writing Practice
Following a visit, many peer reviewers struggle with turning their
experiences into a report. The struggle may be condensing many hours
of observation into a 15-25 page report. Some times it may be choosing
appropriate wording to describe a particularly troubling situation in
a way that is clear, professional, and constructive. Other times it
may be conveying a strength of feeling, describing something accurately,
or choosing which elements are necessary and which can be edited.
This activity provides you opportunities to consider various situations
that may come up in a review, determine key issues, and develop responses.
Below are various titles of scenarios. To review one, click on the
button beside it. Another window will open with the scenario described
within and a place to compose a response.
Approach the scenario as though you were a visiting peer reviewer.
Identify the critical core issues of the scenario. Compose a response
as if you were writing that section of the report.
After submitting a response, you will have the opportunity to read
what colleagues have said about the same situation.
At the bottom of this list there is a button that will allow you to propose
a situation you would like to see addressed in this format.
Do
you have a scenario to suggest?
