Peer Review

In this activity

  • Self-assessment is enabled so that students begin by reviewing their own work, supporting self-reflection and helping them become familiar with the feedback criteria.
  • Reviewer anonymity is enabled to allow students to provide honest and constructive feedback, though this setting can be adjusted if desired.
  • The number of peers to review is set to all peers by default, but this can be modified to fit your course needs.
  • Grading is based on completing the feedback process and the average ratings from both self- and peer assessments, and can be adjusted as required.
