Certification exams typically have low pass rates. Anecdotally, peer feedback leads to better outcomes than individual preparation. To be successful, peer feedback groups must be well structured and feedback should adhere to relevant performance criteria. This webinar will discuss how to select and organize participants, how to pick productivity tools, source text selection, and feedback guidelines.
This workshop is presented by Jason Knapp from Knapp Language Services.
Students will be able to:
• Determine which professional credentials are relevant to achieving their career goals
• Identify sources from which to find colleagues to participate in peer study/practice groups
• Understand the relevant criteria to have in mind when selecting sample passages for translation or speeches for interpretation
