Abstract

Current studies agree on the need of training university students in various competences. Among them, writing stands out as an essential competence. This study analyzes the abstract produced by Spanish PhD candidates in the context of an academic writing workshop. These abstracts were rewritten as a result of peers’ and supervisors’ reviews. The purpose is to analyze the construction of this type of text in relation to its content categories. The results attest a series of challenges faced by students and help teachers in the design of their teaching instruction.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is a pervasive inability among students to provide insightful peer feedback, consistently noted across diverse educational contexts including undergraduate and graduate students.

    “This underscores a pervasive inability among students to provide insightful peer feedback, a challenge that has been consistently noted across diverse educational contexts, encompassing undergraduate and graduate students at various stages of their academic journey (Álvarez et al., 2015; Gumusoglu et al., 2022).”
  • Deficiency in providing constructive feedback can engender a lack of trust among students in receiving constructive feedback from peers, impairing engagement and reducing efficacy of peer feedback.

    “This deficiency has the potential to engender a lack of trust among students in receiving constructive feedback from their peers (Jurkowski, 2018; Pugh and Veitch, 2019), ultimately impairing their engagement and reducing the efficacy of the peer feedback practice (Álvarez et al., 2015; Jurkowski, 2018).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
