Peer Feedback In Nursing Students: A Concept Analysis, Danielle Fleming, Jean Yockey, Susan B. Fowler, Lorie Truhe

General Submissions: Academic Settings and Education-based Materials

Peer feedback is a valuable tool in the nursing skills lab for improving student performance, learning, and self-reflection. Peer feedback has been demonstrated to improve student satisfaction and academic performance when conducted effectively while preparing nursing students for clinical practice (Wong & Shorey, 2022). Giving and receiving peer feedback allows students to develop conflict resolution, self-reflection, and critical thinking abilities (Tornwall, 2018). As nursing programs shift toward competency-based education, developing peer feedback skills becomes increasingly important within the nursing curriculum. This concept analysis aims to understand the concept of peer feedback in pre-licensure nursing students. Implications: Understanding peer feedback allows …

Disclosure Of Documents In Private Antitrust Enforcement Litigation, Aleš Galič

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Procedural tools aimed at access to information in general, and disclosure of documents in particular, are crucial for the effectiveness of private antitrust enforcement litigation and for facilitating more genuine equality of arms. Currently, profound differences exist among EU Member States’ civil procedure laws concerning disclosure of evidence held by the opponent. The transposition of the litigation disclosure mechanism contained in the Damages Directive will undermine the existing principles of Slovenian civil procedure. However, this is due to the fact that Slovenian law is outdated with regard to evidence disclosure. Not only that, it is also partially based on an …
