Peer evaluation (peer review) is a type of assessment activity where students are asked to provide feedback and evaluate the work of other students in the course. These activities are useful in helping to provide more opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work, especially in large enrollment classes. This session will begin with a general overview of the learning benefits of peer assessments in higher education that are found in the research. Peter Graf from the Department of Psychology will be sharing his experiences on how he incorporated peer assessments in his Introductory Psychology courses over the past years, the student concerns that arose and how they were overcome. The session will end with a brief overview of the peer assessment tools and support resources that are available for those who would like to explore this further!
