1. This month, we'll be doing our third round of peer-review. Make sure you check out who you're reviewing from the review-pair allocation on the password-protected portion of the webpage, as IT HAS CHANGED.

    Here are the guidelines for what we're looking for at this third stage. This time, the guidelines are not Commons-specific, but are a set widely used for evaluating teaching portfolios. (Those of you involved in the trans-oceanic review will also be using these same guidelines - I'll be in contact about that separately). You may be interested in where these guidelines come from, and the other interesting materials the Peer Review of Teaching Project has generated.

    As usual, make sure you do your review before you come to the Commons in May, as there'll be time dedicated to individual feedback and discussion (and I'll try and ensure there's enough time this time).

  2. As we near "complete first draft" stage, during the May session we'll be taking a more holistic view of the portfolios, talking about:

    Have a browse of some other portfolios, to gather some good ideas beforehand. Bring the URL of any you particularly like.
