This document provides instructions for an activity where students will introduce a peer they recently interviewed. They will create a 5 slide presentation summarizing who their interviewee is, their interests, what questions they may explore, what paper they should read next and who they should work with. Students will take turns presenting their summaries and receiving feedback to improve them. They are then asked to read the papers suggested and provide a reflective commentary on what they learned and how peer feedback may impact their plans.

their summary fair, accurate and useful?

- what should they keep but change a bit
- what should they lose

12. Before next week
Read the two papers suggested by your interviewer.
In your reflective commentary, write about two things:
1. What you have learned (or not) from the paper
suggested by your interviewer. Why do you think they
were suggested?
2. Write up the anonymous feedback from the audience.
What do you think this means, and what will you change
(if anything) about your plans because of this? If you
won’t, why not?
