When to display Grades

A peer graded assignment can have either of these characteristics:

1. In the peer grading phase the students see the feedback on the assessment elements, the general comment and the grades given by the other students. The students are shown both the individual assessment element grades and their overall grade. This may lead into more disputes than the second type of peer graded assignment...
2. In the peer grading phase the students see only the feadback on the assessment elements and the general comment made by the other students. The grades for the individual assessment elements are not revealed (although they are held in the system). Further, the students do not see their overall grades as given by their peers. Only when the comments have been agreed are the grades (and the overall grade) shown. This type of peer graded assignment is likely to be less contentious than the first type.
