Does the use of summative assessment in collaborative group assessment inhibit good judgement?

The accuracy and consistency of peer marking, particularly when students have the power to reward (or penalise) during formative and summative assessment regimes, is largely unknown.

Under her CRADLE Fellowship, Dr. Sridharan will be contributing to scholarship and research around assessment, feedback and cognate areas in higher education. Recently, her focus has been developing and researching innovative authentic assessment and feedback paradigms.

Join Dr. Sridharan for a discussion into her study to evaluate students’ ability and behaviour in marking their peers in a collaborative group assessment context both when the mark is counted and not counted towards their final grade.
