<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Number of Peer Assessors</B></P>
<P>A peer graded assignment will normally have around 3 to 8 peer
assessors. That is, in the peer grading phase, each student will be
asked to grade this number of pieces of work from the other students
in the class. The larger the assignment is, in terms of content, the
smaller this number should be, else the grading burden on the
students becomes onerous. However, each student should see sufficient
examples to gain an insight into what constitutes a good piece of work
and a poor piece of work. Further for the grading performance of a
student to be assessed meaningfully the greater the number of peer
gradings the better. This performance is unlikely to be valid if only three
or four gradings are done by each student.
<P>Provided there is enough pieces of work submitted (actually 10 or
more), the system will allocate each student at least one &quot;good&quot; and
at least one &quot;poor&quot; piece of work. However, this can only be done if the
teacher has graded the pieces of work BEORE the allocation of (peer) grading
work is done. The teacher does NOT, however, have to grade all the
pieces of work, a sample is sufficient. Further, the teacher's gradings need
NOT be the final gradings, a preliminary grading is good enough. Note,
however, that if the option to show teacher's gradings is turned on,
these gradings will be shown to the students at the end of the submission
phase.
<P>The number of peer assesors can be zero. In which case the assignment
becomes either a self-graded assignment if that option is turned on, or
a normal teacher-graded assignment.
