The Extraordinary Teaching Project: Developing Critical Thinking through Peer Review

Art Bettis uses student peer review of writing in his large lecture course, Introduction to Environmental Science, to promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of course concepts and to engage with the process of scientific knowledge creation. This course was part of the Large Lecture Transformation Project at The University of Iowa.
Key aspects of this strategy include critical thinking skills, writing skills, and Calibrated Peer Review (CPR).
