Anonymous Grading

- -

A peer graded assignment can be graded anonymously. In this - case the names (and any photos) of the students doing the grading - are not shown. Only the (file) names of the submissions are used to identify - the peices of work being graded. - -

When the peer graded assignment is not graded anonymously, the - pieces of work are shown with the names (and any photos) of the - students who submitted the work. This may lead to bias in the gradings. - -

Note that if the teacher's grades are shown to the students these are - never shown anonymously. -

Peer Graded Assignment Type

- -

A peer graded assignment can have one of two types: - -

    -
  1. Only feedback on the assessment elements and the general comment - is entered. The grading of assessment elements is not seen in the - grading pages. Assignments themselves are not given an overall grade. - However, the grading performance of the students is measured and - this, and only this measure contributes towards the final grades given - to the students. - -
  2. Here the teacher and peers are asked to provide both feedback and - grades. The assignments are given an overall quantative grade as well - as the qualative data. The final grade for a student will be calculated - from the (weighted) contributions of the teacher's grade, the mean - peers' grade and the student's grading performance. - -

The Breakdown of the Final Grade

- -

The table on this screen shows your final grade and how it was calculated. - The final grade is made up from three possible components. - -

    -
  1. The teacher's grade for your submitted work. -
  2. The average of the peer grades for your submitted work. -
  3. A grade for your performance in the peer grading phase. This - performance was based by (a) whether your grades were too high or too low - when compared with the average grade of the other students (this is called bias), - (b) whether your grades follow, again on average, the grades given by - the other students (this is called reliability) - and (c) on the quality of your comments on the other pieces of work you graded. - This was graded by the teacher. These three performance grades were weighted - by the factors 1:2:3 respectively to give an overall "grading" - grade. In other words the teacher's grading of the comments is given the - same weight as the Bias and Reliability factors combined. -
- -

These three components can be weighted as deemed appropriate for the - assignment. These weights are shown in the smaller table. -

The Calculation of the Final Grade

- -

The table at the foot of the screen shows the final grade for each student - for this assignment. Their grade is made up from three components. - -

    -
  1. The teacher's grade for their submitted work. -
  2. The average of the peer grades for their submitted work. This can optionally - include the teacher's grade. This grade would be included if the number of - peer gradings is very low or it is thought that the peer gradings are suspect - either because of bias (usually on the high side) or for not being reliable. - If included the teacher's grade is treated in the same way as a peer grade in - the calculation of the average. -
  3. A grade for the student's performance in the peer grading phase. This - performance is based by (a) if their grades are,on average, too high or too low - (this is called bias), (b) if their grades follow, again on average, the grades given by - the other students (and that of the teacher if included) (this is called reliability) - and (c) on the quality of their feedback to the other students, this is graded - explicitly by the teacher in the top half of the page. These three are weighted - by the factors 1:2:3 respectively in the calculation of the "grading" - grade. In other words the teacher's grading of the comments is given the - same weight as the Bias and Reliability factors combined. -
- -

These three components can be weighted as deemed appropriate for the - assignment. For example the teacher's grade might be weighted strongly - if the peer grading part of the assignment is only considered a minor part - of the assignment as a whole. Alternatively, if no teacher grading is done - at all then the teacher's grades should be given a zero weighting. If the - assignment is all about the students as judges and the providing of feedback - then first two components may be set to zero (or low) and the students' - grading abilities will dominate the final grades. - -

Note that this screen is used iteratively and the final grades are not normally - made available to the students until all the grades for the comments have been - entered AND the component weights (for the teacher's grades, the peer - grades and grading performance) have been finalised. Once these two separate - tasks have been done then the final grades can be made available to the - students. -

Peer Graded Assignment Elements

- -

For ease of grading a Peer Graded Assignment should have a reasonable - number of "Assessment Elements". Each element should cover - a particular aspect of the assignment. Typically an assignment will have - something between 5 to 15 elements for comments and grading, the - actual number depending on the size and complexity of the assignment. A peer - assignment with only one element is allowed and has a similar assessment - strategy to the standard Moodle Assignment. Elements have - the following three features: -

    -
  1. The DESCRIPTION of the assessment element. This should clearly state what - aspect of the assignment is being assessed. If the assessment is qualatative - it is helpful to give details of what is considered excellent, average - and poor. - -
  2. The SCALE of the assessment element. There are a number of prefined - scales. These range from simple Yes/No scales, through multipoint scales to - a full percentage scale. Each element has its own scale which should be choosen - to fit the number of possible variations for that element. Note that the scale - does NOT determine the element's importance when calculating the overall - grade, a two point scale has the same "influence" as a 100 point - scale if the respective elements have the same weight... - -
  3. The WEIGHT of the assessment element. By default the elements are given the same - importance when calculating the overall grade of the assignment. This can be - changed by giving the more importance elements a weight greater than one, and - the less important elements a weight below one. Changing the weights does NOT - effect the maximum grade, that value is fixed by the Maximum Grade parameter - of the peer graded assignment. -

The Final Grades

- -

The table on this screen lists the final grades and their breakdown as shown to - the students. If an error is seen in the table then it is possible to "go back" - and make a correction in some cases. There are a couple of possibilities. - -

    -
  1. If a teacher's grade needs to be changed then the piece of work can be - re-graded by going - to the teacher's Management screen for assignment and clicking on the link "View - (n) submitted Assignments". The piece of work can be re-graded. Once this has - been done then the Phase 4 screen "Grade Comments" should be displayed AND the - link at the foot of that page clicked so that the new final grade is stored in the - database. -
  2. If it is desired to use a different weighting scheme then the link - "Calculate Final Grades" can be clicked and the new weights entered. Clicking - on the button at the foot of the screen will save the adjusted weights and re-calculate - the final scores. -

Grading of Peer Assignments

- -

For ease of grading a Peer Assignment is divided into a number of - assessment "elements". Each element covers - a particular aspect of the assignment. For each element you should -

    -
  1. Enter a Grade by clicking in the appropriate button or selecting an appropriate - number from the drop down menu. - -
  2. Enter an explaination of why you gave that grade in the Feedback box. If - you feel that the reason is obvious then leave the box empty. Note, however, - that the person whose work you are asessing has the opportunity to get back - to you and may well query a grade if there is no explaination. -
- -

The last box on this form allows you to make a general comment on the - work. This should justify your assessment. It should be polite and as far as - possible constructive. - -

Note that not all the assessment elements may be counted equally. The - higher their "Weight" the higher they count when calculating - the overall grade. - -

You may find that once you have assessed several pieces of work, you want - to re-assess one or two of them. This is allowed and, indeed, this is good idea as - it will give your asessments a greater consistency. - -

Grading the Peer Comments

- -

This screen is used to enter the teacher's grades for the comments made - by the students during the peer grading phase of the assignment. A relatively - simple grading is used, the score out of 20. The treacher can decide what is - being graded and the relative scores from the instructions given to the students - before the peer grading started. For example, at a higher level the students may be - required to give critical comments, at an intermediate level the students may be - required to point out strengths and weaknesses, and at a lower level the students - may be simply pointing out errors and inaccuracies. - -

The comments are grouped together by submission, that is each set of - comments refers to the same piece of work. If available the teacher's own - comments are shown first as a kind of benchmark. - -

Note that this screen can be used iteratively and there is no need to grade all - the comments in one go. Indeed it may be desirable to regrade some of the - comments once the "standard" of the comments has been established. - -

The grades of comments that have been scored are - saved by clicking on the apprpriate button at the foot of the page. Once the - teacher is happy with all the comment grades the next step is to calculate - the Final Grades. - -

Including Self in the Assignment

Managing a Peer Graded Assignment

- -

A Peer Graded Assignment is more complex than an ordinary assignment. - It involves a number of steps or phases. These are -

    -
  1. The assessment of a peer assignment should be broken into a number - of assessment ELEMENTS. This makes the grading of an assignment less - arbitary and gives the students a framework on which to make assessments. - The teacher has the role of setting up the assessment elements thus making a - grading page. (See that page for more details.) - -
  2. With the grading page set up the assignment is made available to students. - There is a submission deadline for the work done by the students. During this - phase the teacher can, if desired, grade some or all of the submissions. The - grading need not be final, the grades are used as a guide in the next phase... - -
  3. After the submission deadline has passed, the teacher moves the assignment - to the peer grading phase. First each student is allocated a random selection - of the submitted pieces of work. If there is a sufficient number of graded - submissions, the system ensures that each student is allocated at least one - "good" piece of work and at least one "poor" piece of work. - Each student now has a number of pieces of work to grade. This must be done - within the "Grading" deadline. A student can comment on these - assessments (made by other students) of their own peice of work and they - can go back for re-grading if the student is not happy with some aspect. - That loop continues until either the student is happy with the amended - assessment, the deadline for grading is reached or the teacher intervenes - in the process. - -
  4. After the grading deadline has passed the teacher must grade the comments - made by the students on submissions. This is a single grade score. Once the - comments has be graded the teacher can calculate the final grades of the students. - These final grades are normally made up of three components, teacher's grade, - mean peer grade and grading performance. The later is mainly the mean score - entered by the teacher against a student's comments. This three components are - first weighted before the calculation takes place. -

Number of Peer Assessors

- -

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. - -

Provided there is enough pieces of work submitted (actually 10 or - more), the system will allocate each student at least one "good" and - at least one "poor" 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. - -

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. - -

Resubmitting assignments

- -

By default, students cannot resubmit assignments once the teacher has graded them

- -

If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to resubmit assignments - after they have been graded (for you to re-grade). This may be useful if the - teacher wants to encourage students to do better work in an iterative process.

- -

Obviously, this option is only relevant during the submission phase of a peer graded - assignment. During the peer grading phase the grading is always done iteratively, the student - whose work is being graded has the opportunity to disagree with the set of - comments (and possibly grades) on their work and send a reply back to the student - doing the grading. This process continues until agreement is reached... - -

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. -

Display of Teacher's Grades

A peer graded assignment can optionally make the teacher's comments - and grades available to the student's.
