Reducing Grading Burden with Peer Assessment

Being professor is already time-consuming. With the added burden of having to grade assignments and provide feedback, even with the help of TA support - this process can be lengthy and difficult. The longer students wait for feedback and grades, the less they are able to retain and comprehend course content.

‍

In this case study, we explore how Kritik enabled the following professors to reduce their grading and administrative burden while saving their department resources by implementing peer assessment. As an instructor, they leveraged Kritik’s peer assessment technology to administer quick feedback and teach students valuable professional and communication skills.
