Self and Peer Evaluation
The summary of all of a student's written activity on the course was retained in a dossier or journal on Learn Link. Thus, students could report this in any way that was useful to them.
For purposes of the course, students could advocate their contribution to presentations, on-line tutorials, editing the essays of other students and written contributions to the laboratory sessions.
The more subjective marks based on non-written communication such as tutorial meetings, acquiring information for the group or verbal presentations in laboratories were usually supported by specific comments.
As noted in the results of professional skills, these evaluation comments tend to cast the student in a positive light or offer a defense to critics.
This evaluation of peers would not only reflect the peers behavior, but what comprised the students own intrinsic values.
A simple example might be appropriate.
If a student were always arriving late for meetings, the evaluator might comment on this behavior. However, this comment also reflects the evaluators need for meeting time deadlines and organization.
