Kritik offers our students a higher degree of engagement in their own learning by reflecting on their work and that of their peers. Learning how to provide feedback is an important skill to practice, particularly for future business professionals who will often lead teams and manage diverse organizations. We are excited to partner with Kritik in providing our students with this type of learning.

We are pleased to offer Kritik to Brandon University students after a successful pilot project by some faculty. Using Kritik can help BU students learn to provide quality feedback to their peers, reducing the turnaround time for feedback and supporting learning in discipline-specific criteria.

Director, Centre for Teaching, Learning & Technology, Brandon University

Kritik and the pedagogy surrounding peer assessment will become part of the new normal post-COVID, far past online/remote class offerings. One of the biggest challenges that many of us educators face is releasing control; that is always a big stumbling block. However, by empowering students to assess each other, educators are becoming stronger mentors and coaches.

Frequently asked questions

Your most important questions answered

What’s the pricing model for Kritik?

Kritik offers two payment models: Student-pay and Institution-pay. The student-pay model costs $29 per license per course to use Kritik, while to implement the Institution-pay model, you can get in touch with our team to discuss pricing and the number of licenses required.

Is feedback from one student to another anonymous?

Yes - all feedback and peer-to-peer evaluations are anonymous, with the exception of assignment types, such as videos, where students are required to show their faces. Of course, as professors, you can see student names.

How to encourage REAL evaluations and suppress fraudulent generic assessments?

The fact that the evaluations are anonymous helps address this. Additionally, in the third stage of Kritik, the feedback-on-feedback stage especially helps promote the depth and helpfulness of the assessments. If students produce generic assessments, this will affect their Grading Power and how much their evaluation contributes to their peers' final grade.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Kritik can be purchased by semester or with an annual subscription.

What does LMS integration mean?

Kritik integrates with the most commonly used LMS platforms, including Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle, and Coursera.  It allows for Single Sign On, Roster Sync, and Grade Sync.

Why do Instructors love Kritik?

Mohammed Zia

Professor, Data Science and Engineering

University at Buffalo

"With Kritik, I can create customized rubrics, and some kids did come out and say that without Kritik, they would have missed out on some smaller but important points. My goal was to get them [students] to plan the structure and the execution of the solution, and Kritik has helped me with that."

Steven Forsey

Lecturer, Chemistry

University of Waterloo

"Beyond just writing answers down, peer evaluation on Kritik encourages students to think about what they are doing, write it down, and reflect upon what they’ve done, which is an essential part of their work lives after university. I was very happy with the way it worked out, and the students did not have any issues adapting to Kritik for their submissions."

Whitney Sivils-Sawyer

Professor, Curriculum Instruction and Leadership

Louisiana Tech University

“I’ve used other peer assessment technologies in the past, but Kritik’s algorithm is built in a way where we can have data pulled to see the incredibly valuable feedback loop. Kritik has been great in giving them multiple points of feedback that weren’t just me. This transformed their learning experience."

Kaston Carpenter

Asst. Professor, Psychology

Michigan State University

“The fact that Kritik is so inexpensive, especially given the opportunities that they have to engage with their peers, the students feel the value they receive from Kritik is worth far more than the price they pay. Other platforms are more than double the price, in addition to course fees and materials.”

Karen Sunabacka

Assoc. Professor, Music

University of Waterloo

“I only have so much time, and I just found that students wrote that much more than I ever could that forces them to notice things and respond. This elevates the engagement levels in the evaluation stage. Students learn to communicate with each other in a way that doesn’t put them down but raises them up."

Thomas Holloway

Assoc. Professor, Finance

University of Calgary

"Doing the project is obviously a learning activity, but then reading other people's version of the project, and putting grades on it, providing comments, is the thesis of Kritik as a product. Kritik is an excellent way to stay relevant generationally. As a real workplace tool, it caters to a world that students live in, like Instagram or TikTok."

Sara Buckallew

Assoc. Professor, Nutrition

University of Missouri

“I really appreciated how students could see what other students actually did because they don’t typically go out and see what their peers are doing. When they hear constructive criticism from their peers, it really elevates the feedback that the students are getting and elevates the learning experience for everyone involved.”

Jonathan Wisco

Asst. Professor, Anatomy & Neurobiology

Boston University

"Many students grow up in a culture where grades are everything and while they are important, there is a need to create spaces in which they can feel valued and help their peers feel valued. Kritik can be used in any space where feedback is a central part of the course or learning activity."
