Setting up the PeerMark assessment activity

There are three tabs (PeerMark Assignment, PeerMark Questions, Distribution) of which you need to complete to  that must be completed to set up the peer assessment activity.

Peermark Assignment

  1. Enter a 'Title' and some 'Instructions' for completing the peer assessment.  The instructions should be clear to ensure students are aware of the additional activity within the dropbox, what's expected of them and what they will get out of the activity.
  2. If you intend to award a mark to students who successfully complete the activity, i.e. evaluate another's assignment, enter the number of points in the 'Points value' box.  
    Note:  The marks awarded will NOT form part of the whole grade for the assignment itself, it is a completely separate mark that will not show in Moodle Grades.
  3. Set the 'Start date', 'Due date' and 'Feedback release (Post) dates date' as you would a normal assignment.  We advise that you set the peer assessment activity to start a few weeks after the assignment is due to be submitted to allow for any late submissions.  
  4. Once this is done press thethe 'Save & Continuebutton to save your work.
