We will be discussing the article "Peer-Assisted Reflection: A Design-Based Intervention for Improving Success in Calculus", by Daniel Reinholz. The author introduced a weekly activity, referred to as peer-assisted reflection into his classroom, and found that student performance improved noticeably. Students tried a problem at home, then had to review a peer's work, discuss their progress, and then revise at home before turning the problem in.
