Teaching Innovation

Luz Nagle, Use of Student Peer Evaluations The student groups are required to self-grade themselves. Each group member is to evaluate his or her performance and that of the other members. The evaluation has a numerical and narrative section. The narrative supports numerical feedback. The comments allow me to individualize the efforts each student puts into the project and see how and where I need to guide the group or adapt my teaching. The goal of this method: Encourages the students’ sense of responsibility and involvement, assists students to develop skills in independent judgment, and makes the students “own” their task and the results of their efforts, International Law, January 2020
