Introduction to Research: Graded Peer review assignment released
Dear Learners,
Best wishes for the exam!!
As announced earlier, we have prepared a Graded assignment for peer review and has been released through PeerGrade.
This one is similar to the practice assignments where in you have to copy an abstract (from the given set of abstracts) and write a one-line summary of what you have understood from it. Please note, your submission should contain the following:
1. The abstract that you read
2. The list of works cited in the abstract (or bibliography)
3. One-line summary of the abstract
Every peer review will have two parts – Your Submission and Your Review. Only when you do both will the activity be complete. The assignment is worth 10 marks. Since this is a graded activity we are providing you an incentive of additional 5 marks if you do both submission and review. i.e. you will get 15 marks for your participation.
For the calculation of the final score, we will consider this as the 9th course assignment and select the best 6 out of the 9 for the 25% calculation.
The due dates for the activity is as follows:
Submission due by: 30-April-2019, 6:00 PM IST
Reviews due by: 5-May-2019, 6:00 PM IST
Regards

[Introduction to Research] About the PeerGrade Assignment
Dear Learners,
The first Peer Grade practice assignment was closed on 24th-March. Out of the 213 people who submitted, 73 have completed the peer review process. We had also floated a survey last week to understand the reasons for low participation in the peer review process. Till now we have received only 18 responses. Majority of the respondents indicated that they would want to re-attempt the peer-review activity if provided a chance.
Keeping these facts in mind, we are extending the due date of filling the survey to 31-March-2019. Kindly use this opportunity to let us know whether you would want to participate in the peer review activity. If there are more than 60 positive responses, we will be creating another peer-review activity through Peer Grade. You can fill the survey by clicking on this link.

[Introduction to Research] Extension for Peer Grade Assignment by a day
Dear Learners,
Last week, we had introduced an optional practice activity for "Peer Review" through an external application called PeerGrade. We see that only 167 of the 508 learners enrolled have attempted the first part of this activity till now.
Please note that quite unlike the other objective assignments. this activity is an opportunity that you will get as a learner to experience the process followed in actual research to build consensus and advance the boundaries of knowledge. We strongly believe that all learners will be benefitted by this exercise and hence we are extending the due date of submission by a day (i.e. 10:00 AM on 15th March 2019). Please take this opportunity to complete the first phase of this practice activity.
All you have to do to submit is:
- Enroll in the class "noc19-ge03: Introduction to Research" class in PeerGrade application if you have not already done it (We have resend invites to 6000 learners who have not enrolled yet)
- Enter the class and check the first practice assignment - "Practice Assignment: Reading an abstract"
- Download the file having multiple abstracts from various domains
- Select the abstract that you can understand and copy paste the abstract (along with references) in the submission
For more detailed instructions on submission and review please check this document.
Hoping to see many more of you trying to use this application and take part in the peer review activity. Once again please note that this is a practice activity and there will be no impact on your grade.

Introduction to Research: Practice Assignment for Peer Review
Dear Learner,
In the content provided in Week 2 you have been exposed to the process of literature review as well as tools and techniques to perform citation of existing literature being referred. Now we will provide you with a practice exercise that will empower you to identify best practices in communicating your research.
Communicating about our research activities is essential, and motivating our work based on available literature is also crucial. This assignment is designed to expose you to various facets of technical writing. A paragraph of literature review is the basis on which this assignment will be evaluated. In the literature review paragraph, it is important to:
- convey a technical message, clearly and cogently
- format appropriately
- acknowledge literature sources correctly
As a trial for this exercise of writing, we are going to enable a peer-review assignment. This will have following stages:
- Selection of example literature review paragraph within allotted time
- Grading of others' submission (this is called peer-review) within allotted time
- Responding to comments/judgements for your selected paragraph
We will be using an external application called PeerGrade to perform this activity. More instructions on how to do this assignment and how to use PeerGrade is available inside. You will be shortly receiving an email from the PeerGrade application about the assignment.
Thank you.
