Written Assignment Unit 2: Peer Assessment

Peer to peer lcaming is an educational practice in which students interact with one

another to attain educational goals (UoPeople, 2020) In addition to the course instructor's

supervision peer to peer lcarning gives new insights and directions to students by other

students. When a students assesses his her friends' assignment they can get many other

answers, perspectives, and attitudes from the other students answer. So, the student can learn

from comparing the assessed student's answer and his/her own answer to the same week

(UoPsople, n. d.).

UoPeople uses peer assessment model in order to improve its students critical

thinking skills and share each other's perspectives (UoPeople). This helps students to gain the

experience they would have gotten, if they were in a physical class room Because, if they

vere in a class room students can learn from each other in a room by communicating and

participating together. But in an online system this doesn't happen unless and otherwise

JoPsople use poer to por kcaming and 'or peer assessment method. This is a key element of

bow Icaming and community are cmphasized at UoPcople (UoPcopic, n. d.).

From the benefits of peer assessment. we can mention that students can share new

ideas, dimensions, insights or perspectives with each other This action gives students skills

that prove they have the necessary skills in their academic and/or professional careers

(UoPoople, 2020). 11 helps to create an environment in which the students from the whole

world are together in an online platform to share their experiences each other, They can get

what they mean from being in a physical classroom. It helps them to adapt working with

global community and engaged in a team work. In most workplaces, it is not only the "boss"

who gives comments, feedback. suggestions, and constructive criticisms but one's peers as

well (UoPeople, 2020).

During my last week peer assessment, it was challenging to assess other students

work. It is cusy to rate from 10 their work. Well giving them feedback was hard for me. Cause

it was hard to be sure about "have 1 got their idea?" So. I tried to understand what they

written and compare it to the asked question then told them, what 1 fact about it in sweet

words

Receiving poor feedback needs to deal with the emotions about the feedback

Depending on the given feedback we might use feedbacks to make changes in our works,

otherwise we just thinking about them over and over again (McGill University. n. d.)

After reading the assessment that T a going to save carefully, 1 will compare it with

the desired things from the question, or 1 will check. if the answer addresses all part of the

question. When I get missed instructions and details, 1 note them carefully to mention them in

The feedback section So, as it is stated in UoPeple peer assessment model, I rate their work

and give them a constructive feedback
