Are student peer assessments reliable? Analysis of a classroom-based management course

“

" The purpose of this study was to investigate if undergraduate students could assess peer work in a school of business and economics course which involved several long essay type reports. A key challenge was the volume of grading since there were three written project management plan assignments (at 25 pages each) spread throughout the course. The secondary goal was to explore if the LMS could facilitate the peer assessment process and if it could calculate a fair grade representing the quality of peer assessing work. " (p. 104)
