3.2.8. PRACTICAL ACTIVITY

When engaging in peer feedback activities, there may be students who can become careless and not mark assignments adequately. In this situation, using different grading strategies, co-creating assessment rubrics and introducing engaging activities can help motivate students.

  • Think of a specific assignment in which you can incorporate peer review (in addition to written assignments you can consider using other media, e.g. student-produced videos or other outputs; you can also consider group projects, so students can share and support each other through the review process);
  • Reflect on how this activity, and more specifically peer review, correlates with your course’s learning outcomes.
  • Decide if (and how) peer review will affect students’ assessment and select the most appropriate grading strategy (i.e., accumulative grading, comments, number of errors and rubrics).
