Abstract:

A system for peer evaluation of student papers is described. A rationale for the system is proposed. Observations and results of the process are presented. Data for the 1998 and 1999 classes are given confirming the consistency of the ratings. No differences were observed in the consistency among the content, organization, interest, and presentation of the papers. Results from a questionnaire given to students after the scoring exercise demonstrated acceptance of the rating process by students, and suggested that it had positively affected their own writing.

 

Keywords: peer evaluations, student papers
