Student peer review

About

This study investigated the effect of peer review on student learning, specifically the extent to which engaging in peer review improves the quality of students' written work.

The study asked:

  1. What kinds of feedback do students give on their peers' work?
  2. How do students use the feedback received by their peers?
  3. Is there (and to what extent is there) an improvement in the post-review quality of student work, as evaluated by an external assessor?
