Abstract

The aim of this paper was to provide a brief overview of contemporary peer assessment literature and to report the findings of a project investigating the subjective experiences and attitudes of students and staff who participate in a peer assessment task. Twenty-four students, a lecturer and a subject coordinator participated in the study. Students completed pre- and post-peer assessment task surveys and the lecturer participated in a one-on-one interview. While students predominantly agreed that peer assessment was a positive and worthwhile experience, three themes emerged for future consideration, these are: validity and objectivity, confidence, and workload.
