Calibrated Peer Review for Interpreting Linear Regression Parameters: Results from a Graduate Course

Validity of peer grading using Calibrated Peer Review in a guided-inquiry, conceptual physics course

Constructing and evaluating explanations are important science practices, but in large classes it can be difficult to effectively engage students in these practices and provide feedback. Peer review and grading are scalable instructional approaches that address these concerns, but which raise questions about the validity of the peer grading process. Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) is a web-based s...

Supporting scientific writing and evaluation in a conceptual physics course with Calibrated Peer Review

Writing tasks are one way students can apply science concepts, yet evaluating students’ writing can be difficult in large classes. With the web-based Calibrated Peer Review* (CPR) system, students submit written work and evaluate each other. Students write a response to a prompt, read and evaluate responses prepared by the curriculum developers, and receive feedback on their evaluations, allowi...

ESTIMATING THE PARAMETERS OF A FUZZY LINEAR REGRESSION MODEL

Fuzzy linear regression models are used to obtain an appropriate linear relation between a dependent variable and several independent variables in a fuzzy environment. Several methods for evaluating fuzzy coefficients in linear regression models have been proposed. The first attempts at estimating the parameters of a fuzzy regression model used mathematical programming methods. In this the...

Calibrated Percentile Double Bootstrap for Robust Linear Regression Inference

Growing a Peer Review Culture among Graduate Students

Usual processes for pursuing education excellence in a graduate56 program are candidate selection, coursework, research, and thesis defense. This paper is an experience report on a complementary approach: the growing of a peer review culture among graduate students. We instruct first-year masters and doctoral students on principles for preparing a thesis proposal. Students present their proposa...
