A guide to authentic peer assessment in higher education
AI has made traditional essay-based assessment unreliable, employers report a growing critical thinking gap among graduates, and accreditation standards are rising. This guide makes the case that well-designed peer assessment is the most practical response to all three and gives you the research, real institutional examples, and a step-by-step roadmap to implement it without rebuilding your courses from scratch.
- The case for change is built for you: draws on employer data, UNESCO findings, and accreditation trends to help you make the internal argument for moving beyond traditional assessment
- Backed by 30 years of research: synthesizes key studies on academic performance, self-assessment, and feedback quality, so you know what actually works before committing
- Real institutions, real results: case studies from EDHEC, University of Bath, Wharton, and others show what peer assessment looks like at scale, across disciplines and cohort sizes
- Ready to act on: includes a semester-one roadmap, five ready-to-use templates, and answers to the concerns most faculty raise before getting started
