Prof. Steven Forsey, who teaches a variety of organic chemistry at the University of Waterloo, is passionate in exploring new teaching techniques to enhance not only the learning of his students but the overall student engagement within his chemistry courses with peer assessment.
“Beyond just writing answers down, peer evaluation encourages students to think about what they are doing, write what they are doing, and reflect upon what they’ve done, which is an essential part of their work lives after university.” - Steven Forsey
