harvard peer review peer grading test corrections

shared by Chris Harrow on 21 Sep 12 - No Cached

Chris Harrow on 21 Sep 12

Admittedly, peer grading is not the same as grading by an expert who really knows the material. But it is better than nothing! In fact, done conscientiously, using a well designed rubric, it's a lot better than you might think, particularly when the results are compared with grading by an instructor who has a large number of assignments to grade in a limited amount of time! In some studies, students were observed to learn better when they were asked to actively assess their answers and those of their peers according to the instructor's rubric. In particular, students who self-graded using a rubric outperformed students who were graded by instructors.

This is a book App targeted at kids 6 and up, or kids who are ready to read chapter-books.  It tells the true story of Edson Hendricks: He was bullied at school, but found comfort in an imaginary world where he had machine parts, and no biological organs or emotions.  Later he went to MIT and IBM, and invented “connectionless” network design, which is used in today’s Internet.
