Proposal Panel of Experts–In-Class Proposal Peer Review

1. Assign each student to become an “expert” on a specific section of the proposal (I divided them into 1. Memo format, Introduction Paragraph, Definition and Research Procedures; 2. Outline and Schedule; 3. Literature Review; 4. Preliminary Bibliography, including style guide) by reading about the requirements of that section and finding good examples. If they are working in teams, have each team member become an expert on a different area of the proposal.

2. Start Session 1 of the Proposal Panel of Experts by having half of the experts sit at desks and be available for consultation by the other half of the students.

3. Students take their proposal to experts in each area for consultation.

4. When each proposal has been looked at by an expert (or a team of experts) in each section, begin Session 2.

5. Repeat the process with the other half of the class serving as experts.
