A small practice for the uncertain review

A practical exercise: Name the reviewer and the question the review should answer.

Original practice · Optional exercise · A place for unfinished work

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A draft is waiting for review but nobody knows by whom.
  2. Name the reviewer and the question the review should answer.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
