The “interruptedcase method” gives students an opportunity to increase their critical thinking skills byencouraging “flexibility and the ability to see alternative approaches”13.MethodologyIn order to make a judgment regarding the validity

However, based on student feedback, the implementation process wasmodified slightly. Students were paired up by the faculty member with randomly selectedindividuals for each lab report. Although the reports were still due in a week after the labexperiment was completed, an intermediate deadline was set for the peer review. In addition,students were required to complete a checklist (Appendix B) when carrying out the peer review.Again no grade was associated with the peer review process.Table 2 summarizes the similarities and differences
