Positive Student Comments • “It was a positive experience because one of the reports I read and marked was of very high quality. It helped to reiterate what was required in carrying out the assignment and helped to increase my knowledge of the subject.” • “Gave me a chance to see how other people have interpreted the task in hand.” • “It was very useful for revision purposes and also gave me an idea how my mates approached and tackled the task.” • “I now understand the marking procedure behind the reports and the sort of scrutiny they are subject to.”
Negative Student Comments • Did not like deciding someone’s final mark • Marks are awarded by subjective students and not a professional • Marking sheet/criteria was not explained enough • Increased the amount of work that had to be done for this assignment
