Students give feedback to their peers in an individual or team basis.

Implementation

This practice can be applied in two ways:
1. The students perform final team presentations to the class (usually 4 students/team). After the presentation, another group (chosen by the teacher) asks questions to the presenting team.
2. Students individually read each other’s group projects and provide structured feedback in an online discussion forum. Students also react to the feedback comments that their own group projects received. This will prompt a discussion about the project.

Aim

The aim is to have contact with other student projects, and enhance feedback opportunities.

Note

The challenge with this activity is keeping with a rigid timeline, supporting quality feedback, and manage expectations.
