Analysis of the coded comment samples from both groups. The authors conclude that "providing good quality, comprehensive feedback is still a challenge for students" even after training, leaving "much room for improvement."

"the low percentage of comments that displayed all five traits, 16.50% and 6.42% for the trained and untrained group respectively, means that the peer assessors had difficulties in providing comprehensive feedback."
