Peer Review Guidance and Rubric
Your scores and feedback will be compared to those of your tutor, who will determine the score based on the proximity to their grades. Your overall mark will represent the accuracy of your marks for the whole group. Your tutor will also consider the feedback you have provided for your peers to decide upon a final mark, so it is important that you justify the grades you have awarded to your peers as this will provide further evidence of your understanding of the marking criteria.
We recommend you look at everyone’s contributions to the forum weekly, keeping a running score against the criteria set out in the Academic Forum Marking Rubric, which is the same rubric your Tutor uses to mark this work. This will make the final assessment easier, and keep you up-to-date with all the discussions.
