Abstract

At the University of North Dakota, peer review has been added into the undergraduate research lab, as part of an ongoing systematic effort to develop the oral and written communication skills of chemical engineering graduates. A student submits a copy of a technical journal article based on his or her lab experiment. An additional copy of this report is given to a different student in the class who has not run the same experiment. This student must then learn the details of the experiment, evaluate the technical report, make specific suggestions for revision, and identify both strengths and weaknesses of the report. The peer review does not affect the grade of the original journal author but the review itself is graded.
