Collaboration can come in many forms. It can be an official and documented partnership between organizations or groups, it can involve a team of individuals from various departments within an organization, it can even include two or more countries working together to solve a common problem. A key component to the success of these initiatives, however, is a sincere willingness to share ideas, accept criticism, and keep an open mind. In doing so, a diverse thinktank can emerge, armed with new ideas and solutions.
For this activity,
To foster collaboration with your peers, you will review and critique your peers’ project as well as provide an additional resource. For example, add a URL in your critique related to their topic. Consider their problem and how they arrived at a solution. Do you agree with their approach? Is there a different way to tackle the problem? Perhaps you learned something that can be applied to a similar problem you are facing.
These elements must be included in each review:
What were the strengths of the research paper?
What were the weaknesses or areas that could have been improved?
What did you learn from their research?
What can you contribute to their research? This can be an additional resource for the literature review, support for their recommendation, or another element that they could have considered during the research process.
