MAS116/117 Presentation Lecture 9:
Mini-project peer assessment session

Dr Sam Dolan, Dr Simon Willerton

Mini-project peer assessment  

Please sit according to your group number:
Group 1 at the front, Group 35 at the back.

Even groups, look to the left;
odd groups go right.

Announcements  

Before we start, there are a couple of announcements.

About the peer assessment  

You should be sat in a group with other people who have read the same projects as you.

Each group should have a folder containing

1.

an attendance sheet;

2.

the marking descriptors;

3.

a copy of each project you were asked to mark, with a marksheet.

Your task  

In a moment we will begin. You should

1.

introduce yourself to your group;

2.

sign the attendance sheet, ready to be collected;

3.

start the discussion.

At the end of the discussion you will agree on a mark for each of the projects and fill in the attached marksheet. You should keep any comments polite and constructive, as they will be returned to the author. As a rough guide to marking, 0 should mean ‘not submitted’ and 4 should mean ‘exceptionally good’.

Discussion points  

Some things you might discuss are below.

Start with general discussion. Half-way through, I will encourage you to start filling in the marksheets if you haven’t already. You can annotate the project behind the marksheet or leave the copies you already annotated.

Finishing up  

Now that the task is complete, please make sure you have

1.

filled in the marksheet for each project you received (and given 0 for any not submitted);

2.

left behind any annotated copies you would like to return to the author;

3.

put all of the above back into your group’s folder in increasing registration number order, lowest first.

We hope you found this exercise useful.
