Kritik vs. Campuswire

"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."

"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."

“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."

“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.”

“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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."
