Academic IntegrityPeer Assessment and Assessed Group Work
The aim of this folder is to provide guidance for good practice in the area of peer assessment and group work. Students working in groups have the opportunity to develop important Graduate Attributes such as developing reciprocity and cooperation and respecting diverse ways of working. Thoughtfully structured group work also engages students with assessment criteria and stimulates dialogue, both features of the UH Assessment-for-Learning Principles. However, unintentional outcomes for the student experience particularly student perceptions of unfairness in the assessment of group work can occur if group work is not planned carefully. To negate this, we are hoping to develop some simple guidance on good practice in the provision of assessed group work in collaboration with academics and students. Your comments on this would be welcome. In the meantime the resources here will help you see how colleagues both at UH and beyond are facilitating assessed group work.
