Abstract:
|
The two most common challenges when grading written assignments in large undergraduate statistics courses are finding the time, and getting students meaningfully involved in feedback provided by the effort. Simple, paper-exchange peer grading is one option, but it can be difficult to implement, and more difficult to ensure that students are taking the process seriously. Calibrated Peer ReviewT (CPR), is a "web-based, instructional tool" that was designed to electronically facilitate peer grading in an organized, coherent manner, while also attempting to address the integrity of the students' effort in the grading process and provide students with an extended learning experience. This article discusses the authors' experiences with CPR in large undergraduate statistics classes at the University of Kentucky, students and instructors perceptions of CPR, as well as the benefits and drawbacks.
