What’s of interest? Peer & AI Review + Reflection (PAIRR) | University Writing Program at UC Davis
Tell me more!
Peer & AI Review + Reflection (PAIRR) is a five-part curricular intervention: 1) Students discuss and reflect on short readings on AI and language equity. 2) They complete peer review of draft writing assignments. 3) They prompt an AI tool to review the same drafts, with instructor guidance on privacy settings. 4) They critically reflect on and assess both types of feedback, considering their goals and audience(s), and 5) They revise.
Developed and tested in 10 courses with 654 students at UC Davis in 2023-24, PAIRR is now expanding in 2025-2027, thanks to a 3-year, $1.5 million AI Grand Challenge grant from the California Learning Lab.
We are collaborating with four Community Colleges (American River, Glendale, LA Mission, and College of Marin), three CSUs (Bakersfield, Maritime, Sacramento State) and UC Davis. PAIRR aims to increase equity in writing support and AI literacy for students and faculty, providing access to and training on appropriate AI tools, based on best practices in writing instruction. See Embracing AI in the Classroom, a UC Davis College of Letters and Science Magazine story about PAIRR’s California Learning Lab grant or our California Learning Lab funded project page.
