Description
Peer-review is the cornerstone of academic assessment and provides a useful exercise to improve projects, proposals, and papers. In this workshop, we strive to improve research proposals for potential and current Master’s students at Concordia University – applying for the Canada Graduate Scholarship Master’s program on Dec 1, 2021.
This workshop will help students to improve their draft research proposals for scholarship applications. In this class, we will focus on applications to the Canada Graduate Scholarship Master’s program due on Dec 1, 2021. A brief overview of general strategies and tips regarding the research proposals, will be followed by breakout groups where students will discuss and brainstorm their draft proposals.
In addition to having an outline of their own proposed research prepared before class, students will also be entrusted with the chance to discuss the work of others. Some of this will be done within the workshop setting, while some amount of “homework” will likely be exchanged by email in the days following this meeting. This exchange between students is expected to provide both written and/or verbal feedback (peer-review) on statements from other students in the class, in a respectful and constructive way.
Notes: Students are ultimately responsible for ensuring their own applications conform to the instructions and standards laid out on by the Canada Graduate Scholarship – Master’s award. Peer-review can be an excellent source of constructive criticism, but it is also the responsibility of the individual author to decide which feedback to use.
