  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.

      Screenshot showing the button which allows you add a further criteria within the Peer Assessment activity.

  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).
