The first version, given in Fig. 7, requires very little additional effort on behalf of the professor, and only slightly more work from the writing staff member.

Students submit a brief statement of the problem, revising and resubmitting it if necessary.
Students then electronically submit one solution to the problem. The writing centre reviews these initial attempts, and designs a workshop to address common problems. Students then compose and submit a completely different solution. Each student, then, receives four peer-authored proposals. Students write a detailed analysis of the four proposals, select one course of action, and support their decision.
