Frequently Asked Questions

Using the teacher grading rubric as the peer review rubric. Teacher rubrics are written for expert assessors and include terms (voice, coherence, sophistication) that students cannot evaluate reliably without training. The peer review rubric must translate these dimensions into specific, observable questions: Does the thesis make a claim that someone could disagree with? Is every piece of evidence followed by an explanation that connects it to the claim? These are questions students can answer.
