+<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Agreement of Assessments</B></P>
+
+<P>A workshop assignment can have either of these characteristics:
+
+<OL>
+<LI>In the submission and assessment phase when the students see the 
+       assessments made by other students there is no feedback 
+       from the students who submitted the work to the students who made
+       the assessment. There may be feedback from the teacher if the teacher
+       choses to grade the student assessments and then the teacher's grades and 
+       comments will be available to both the student whose work it is and 
+       to the student who made the assessment. There will be, however, 
+       be only one way feedback between peers on any one piece of work.
+       
+<LI>In the submission and assessment phase the students see the 
+       assessments made by other students and they are allowed to comment 
+       on these        assessments. They may agree or disagree with the (peer) assessment. 
+       If they agree with the assessment then the assessment stands and is 
+       used in the final calculations when determining the peer grade given to
+       the particular piece of work. If, however, they do not agree with an 
+       assessment the student who made the assessment is given an 
+       opportunity to revise it. The revise/disagree loop can continue until
+       either agreement is reached or the deadline is reached. An assessment
+       which is still in &quot;dispute&quot; when the deadline is reached
+       is not used in the final calculations. This gives two way feedback
+       between peers on each piece of work.
+</OL>
+<P>If the second method of working is chosen there is the option of switching off the display
+       of grades. That is, if this &quot;hide grades&quot; option is exercised, only the comments
+       in the assessment are shown to the student who work is being assessed.
+       The grades are shown only after agreement has been reached (on the 
+       comments alone). Note that this option only effective when agreement on 
+       assessments is required.
+
