Peer Assessment

Because self- and peer assessment issues are so tightly linked, experiences in one area contribute to the development of skills in the other area. Getting students involved in reacting to each other’s work synergistically develops their ability to self-assess. It teaches them how to make judgments and helps them to gain confidence in their opinions, especially if they can document those conclusions with evidence. Their ability to give criticism helps them learn how to take it.
