Peer Review presents itself as a win/win for teachers and students, alike - whether at the undergraduate or graduate level - or does it? Do students really learn from peer review? Is it an "easy" path for a professor to take to avoid developing strong lectures or provide solid assessments? Some may argue this point. This conversational session will address these points, as well as the benefits of peer review to students, as well as the professor. We attack the concept of peer review from all sides. Be prepared to actively participate in the conversation! This topic might be taken as an example of the a following invited session regarding the importance of explicitly relating Episteme with Doxa, knowledge with opinion, justified with not justified believes, explicit with implicit knowledge.
