Using Student Peer ReviewIn Online CourseOSU ITLE Factors To Be Considered: Do you allow students pick their own peer-review partners or you preselect their partners? Do you provide a rubric for students? Do students need to reflect their peer-review experience via discussion board or learning logs?
Specification of Tasks • Tasks should be clear and precise; students often prefer a worksheet that notes specific tasks. • If students are given multiple peer-review opportunities, they often feel comfortable moving through a sequence from simply identifying a feature to evaluating it to suggesting revisions. • Students need extra time for longer the paper or if the assessment criteria is complex.
