Description: Peer Evaluation is a form of Peer Instruction in which students develop their critical and creative thinking skills by providing feedback on their classmates' work.

The peerScholar tool guides the students through three phases: writing, evaluating, and reflecting. PeerScholar makes it possible to incorporate written assignments into classes of any size, and does so in a way that is pedagogically more effective than relying on traditional "expert markers" for assessment.
