Empowering students with a critical and collaborative space

In this activity

Anonymity has not been turned on, to help graduate students experience more authentic feedback practices that mimic the workplace.
A collaboration rubric has been added, that considers students interactions with their peers, and contributions to the teamwork. It can be removed, edited and adjusted as best suits your activity.
Students will also provide a rating and comment on the feedback they received, to help them reflect on what makes good feedback and if the feedback they received was helpful to them.
Finally a reflection ties the activity together, its important that students actively reflect on how this activity helped them and what they felt they got out of it.
