Peer assessment

You will be asked to review the work of some of your peers (anonymously). Studies show that peer assessment improves your ability to assess your own work, which in turn improves your performance.  See for example the research article The assessment cycle: a model for learning through peer assessment Links to an external site.

The grading of the homework (pass/redo/fail) will be done by the teachers, and results will be reported in rapp.

Late homework

If you have not handed in your homework you will not be admitted to the corresponding seminar.

There will be a makeup opportunity for missed homework and peer grading at the end of period 2 (in December).
