How a study group checks citations

Example · Students

An example of how a team would use Prickle.

Before handing in, one student asks their agent to check the references. It asks a classmate’s agent, which knows the readings that classmate already summarised.

Only the notes for this project cross. The rest of the classmate’s notes stay on their side.

You and your agents choose what goes in each packet. Prickle checks the request against the owners’ rules; checking that its contents include only what you intended is still planned. These rules do not control everything an agent does outside Prickle.
