Discussion: Management of group A streptocococcal pharyngitis

A student peer review is a process in which students constructively evaluate the work of another student’s work which promotes mutual learning. Feedback provided from a peer can help the learner master the concepts of an assignment. At the same time, the peer who provides the feedback on a student assignment learns to critically analyze the learner’s work.

Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:

1. Evaluate common primary care clinical practice guidelines for application in clinical practice (WO7.1) (CO3)

2. Review and provide constructive feedback on a peer’s clinical practice guideline assignment. (WO7.1) (CO 3)

Requirements:

1. The student will read the peer’s assigned CPG.

2. Using the Peer Review Rubric provided, students will critically evaluate their assigned peer’s presentation.

Preparing the paper

In this activity you are “grading” your peer’s presentation with the rubric that your instructor uses. Be mindful to follow any additional directions that are required as noted in the peer reviewer form.

· Watch your assigned peer’s presentation.

· Provide a “grade” for your peer by highlighting the box that you feel most represents the appropriate grade for each criteria.

· Provide constructive feedback in the Peer Reviewer Comments section.

· Discuss how the CPG that you reviewed can be applied to your clinical practice as stated in the rubric. You can include your response at the bottom of the peer reviewer template form.

CPG: Shulman, S., Bisno, A., Clegg, H., Gerber, M., …& Van Beneden, C. (2012). Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of group A streptocococcal pharyngitis: 2012 update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Clinical Infectious Diseases, 55(10), e86-e102.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
