An assessment system that supports learning involves student participation in productive activity, distribution of effort evenly across topics and weeks, communication of clear expectations by instructors, and detailed, frequent and quick feedback that reinforces learning goals [1]. One way to meet the above goals is by means of peer assessment. This also engages students in the process of evaluating scientific information. In an introductory calculus-based class, we are implementing a system in which each student assesses another student's weekly homework problems. To guide students through the process, we provide them with evaluation rubrics that have descriptors for various criteria that each problem is assessed on. The criteria include: physics content, relevant representations, modeling the situation, problem-solving strategy and reasonableness of answer.
Does peer-assessment support student learning and help student development of evaluation abilities? To gain some insight, we assigned evaluation questions on an exam in our course and another equivalent introductory course. Results of student performance will be compared, and correlations between the development of evaluation abilities and student performance on analytic and conceptual questions will be discussed.
