The seventh and final step of the
ADI instructional model is the revision
of the investigation report on
the basis of the results of the peerreview.
The reports that are accepted
by the reviewers may be submitted
to the instructor at the end of step 6;
however, all students have the option
to revise their reports on the basis of
what they have read and the comments
on their draft. Authors who
wrote papers that were not accepted
by their peers are required to rewrite
their reports based on the reviewers’
comments and suggestions. Once
completed, the revised reports (along
with the original version of the report
and the peer-review sheet) are
submitted to the instructor for a final
evaluation. This approach is intended
to provide students the opportunity
to improve their mechanics, reasoning,
and understanding of the content
without imposing a grade-related
penalty. It also provides students
with a chance to engage in the entire
writing process (i.e., the construction,
evaluation, revision, and eventual
submission of a manuscript) in
the context of science. This step,
once completed, brings the instructional
sequence to a close.
