Structured peer review using a custom assessment program for electrical engineering students

摘要

Peer review is an increasingly common method that can help improve learning outcomes. In this study, the students are peers/reviewers for their fellow students. This study was conducted using a trial exam as a starting point for a peer review process. A custom assessment computer program was designed for structured implementation of review. The study shows that students who participated in the peer review consistently received better results on the final exam. This suggests that structured peer review by students improves learning outcomes. This paper also demonstrates that the collected data can be useful to lecturers who want to improve their constructive alignment.
