Engaging with Perusall: Tips for Collaborative Learning and Critical Thinking

  • Updated

Are you finding it challenging to spark meaningful conversations with your peers? Here are some effective suggestions to help facilitate engaging discussions.

  1. Highlight the Confusing Stuff
    Highlight areas of the text, equations, or figures/graphs that are confusing to you, and post a question about it.
  2. Help Your Classmates Out
    If you see questions that your classmates have posted that you can help answer, help them out! Explaining your thinking will help deepen your own understanding of the content.
  3. Share your interests
    What most interests you, and why? Highlight areas of the text that spark your interest or curiosity — others may feel the same way!
  4. Respectfully Disagree
    Are there opinions or conclusions in the text that you disagree with? Highlight these and explain why you disagree. Or follow up on a classmates’ post here: do you agree with your classmate? Why or why not?
