One of the core features of workademia.com is our open peer-review system for all posted publications. We offer two attributes – “Content Assessment” and “Writing Assessment” – for our users to rate.
A few month’s back the NY Times ran a piece on the perceived lack of “writing and reasoning skills” of undergraduate business students in even top tier programs. One of the fixes that UVA’s Darden School of Business has implemented is a new standard rating scale for all papers based on, you guessed it, content and writing quality:
“The students in the room know they’ll be grilled on each day’s case study. And when they hand in papers, they’re marked up twice: once for content by a professor with specialized expertise, and once for writing quality by a business-communication professor.”

Workademia.com is proud to embrace such an academically-based and intellectually driven open peer-review model for the publications on our site.
