An important development of P331 Advanced Experimental Physics in the last three years is to use the "workshop" function of Moodle to set up an online manuscript submission and review system that resembles the real journal paper submission and review process in physics. This online system has many advantages, including the anonymous peer review process, high efficiency for assigning review tasks, automatic numerical grading, and convenient statistics analysis. This online manuscript submission and review system is a powerful pedagogical tool for designing progressive writing assignments, providing students explicit grading rubrics, and integrating peer instructions.
