- “Using the marking criteria helped me understand how to approach me assignments. This showed me more clearly what was required in each assignment.”
Nikki
- “Seeing other students’ work is really useful because you can see how they approach the assignment and how it is different to your approach and if you like the approach you can use it in your own assignment.”
Helsa
- “I was able to use the feedback I received from the first peer review and apply it to my second assignment.”
Xavier
- “Peer review reflects what students have actually learnt from the class rather than being based on the lecturer’s responses.”
Nakki
- “It allowed me to better judge what deserved marks and what didn’t in my own work. This is something I can take forward into my future assignments.”
Xavier
- “The feedback we get from peer review is more substantial, because instead of getting feedback from just one lecturer, we get feedback from several different students. This means we get a different point-of-view from each student.”
