Module 07: Proofreading and Quality Control

Teaching Deck

Learning Objectives

• Prioritize proofreading tasks by scientific impact
• Apply consistent adjudication rules
• Use quality metrics to support release decisions
• Document uncertainty and unresolved issues

Session Outcomes

• Learners can complete the module capability target.
• Learners can produce one evidence-backed artifact.
• Learners can state one limitation or uncertainty.

Agenda (60 min)

• 0-10 min: Frame and model
• 10-35 min: Guided practice
• 35-50 min: Debrief and misconception correction
• 50-60 min: Competency check + exit ticket

Capability Target

Execute a proofreading triage cycle that ranks corrections by impact and issues a transparent QC decision.

Concept Focus

Core Workflow

• Classify errors by type and impact.
• Prioritize correction queue.
• Apply and verify fixes.
• Record QC decision with thresholds.

60-Minute Run-of-Show

• 00:00-10: triage philosophy.
• 10:00-24: queue classification.
• 24:00-38: correction sprint.
• 38:00-50: threshold-based release decisions.
• 50:00-60: competency check.

Misconceptions to Watch

• Surface and correct one likely misconception during debrief.

Studio Activity

Produce a prioritized correction queue and one release recommendation memo.

Activity Output Checklist

• Evidence-linked artifact submitted.
• At least one limitation or uncertainty stated.
• Revision point captured from feedback.

Assessment Rubric

• Minimum: consistent queueing and justified release call.
• Strong: strong impact reasoning and uncertainty handling.
• Failure: ad hoc corrections without policy.

Exit Ticket

Write one rule for when an error must be fixed before release.
