About. Peer review groups (PRGs) are groups of 4-10 graduate students &/or postdocs that meet weekly for 1.5 hours to review each other's writing, presentations, and posters. A calendar sign up determines what work the group reviews in a given week (1-2 sign ups/meeting). Group members are expected to come every week (except of course when they are away for conferences, etc.). The group is a community and active participation makes it work. It isn't a class and there aren't assignments or instruction. There's no reviewing or reading or other work outside of the 1.5 hour meeting each week. You only need to show up and review work (give comments verbally) or bring your own work for review (present your paper to the group, read it, ask for feedback) according to the schedule. Someone from the Graduate Writing Lab facilitates the meetings.

Question. If placed in a group, will you actively participate in the PRG (1.5 hour weekly meetings)?
