If students are in more than one group on a module, this must be reflected in the group set up before creating the Peer Assessment activity. 

Creating Your Peer Assessment Activity 

The following steps outline how to create a Peer Assessment activity within Moodle 4.1. 

...

• At least one student must upload a file to the Peer Assessment activity in order for it to be marked. Once a student has uploaded a file, this will appear to all students in the group. You can change the number of files to be uploaded, if you require students to upload multiple documentation for their project. 
• ‘Allow students to self-grade along with peers’ gives the option for students to mark their own contribution to the group project as well as the contribution of their peers. You can enable this setting if you wish to give students this opportunity. 

Additional Settings

1. Open ‘Calculator settings’ and choose the Peer Assessment weighting. We recommend that this be set to 100%, as you can weigh the overall assessment against others in the module within the gradebook.
   
2. Open ‘Assessment criteria settings’ and choose your critera for the Peer Assessment task.
   1. By default, each Peer Assessment task is created with three criteria, and you must provide a description for each.
   2. You should also choose ‘Like’ scale for each criteria and keep this choice the same for all your criteria. The ‘Like’ scale is the way in which students will rank their fellow group members. We recommend the ‘Peer Assessment’ choice from the dropdown menu, which is a standard Likert scale. But you can choose another type of scale, such as a star rating.
   3. You can add more criteria by clicking the ‘Add one more criteria’ button at the bottom of the list.
      
3. At the top of your criteria list you can choose whether you want students to justify their reasons for each choice.
   
   1. In the justification menu you have several options:
      1. Hidden from students – Students will not see their peer feedback.
      2. Visible anonymous – Students will see their peer feedback but it will be anonymous.
      3. Visible with usernames – Students will see their peer feedback and it will include student names against each feedback comment.

   2. You can also set a character limit for how much text you wish to allow students to write for their justification.

   3. Finally, you can choose justification per peer (for the whole submission) or per criteria (justify every group member for each criteria marked).

4. Choose ‘Save and display’ to view the Peer Assessment activity
