Barriers to Peer Assessment: How to overcome challenges to providing deeper student learning

After thousands of professor conversations, dozens of workshops and hours of research, we have compiled the three most common questions we receive about peer assessment.

How does peer assessment with Kritik work in larger classrooms?

Does peer assessment lead to a higher rate of plagiarism?

Is peer-to-peer assessment really an accurate method of student grading?

‍

This workshop addresses these questions and more head-on with research and direct use cases from professors. Have additional questions of your own? Bring them to the workshop where we answer them on the spot.
