Question for academics on here: I'm putting together a CV for the first time. How do you all think about presenting work done outside the academy, e.g. my podcast or a personal blog? (Which is, to be honest, most of my work.) #academisky

Undergrad Peer Reviewers New study finds that undergraduate students are able to peer review preprints with the help of a rubric as part of an authentic assessment task. BlueSky author: @alexh.bsky.socialosf.io/preprints/ed...#AcWri#AcademiSky#Methodogy#Psychology 🧪

Authentic assessment allows students to demonstrate knowledge and skills in real-world tasks.  In research, peer review is one such task where researchers are required to critique other researchers’ work - a skill that undergraduate students are expected to develop. This means peer review could serve as an authentic assessment that benefits students’ education. In this study, we had students write peer reviews of preprints, scaffolded by a rubric. Agreement between the students and experts was reasonable, and student engagement was high. The results suggest that use of peer review in undergraduate classes should be explored more. It likely facilitates student ability to evaluate the quality of scientific studies, learning about the scientific process and its critical evaluation, and shows potential for contributing to publicly-available assessment of scientific studies.

Pedagogical Tip of the Day As the dawn of a new semester approaches, just a reminder that a proper syllabus should include contingency plans for an infinitude of potential scenarios, not only within our own universe, but in all parallel ones as well. #academisky 🗃️
