Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? A meta-analysis comparing peer marks with teacher-assigned marks found a mean correlation of 0.69 between teacher and peer marks over all the studies considered. → Luxton-Reilly 2009

q3 · i? · review · r2
The review reports, citing Falchikov and Goldfinch (2000), a meta-analysis that "found a mean correlation of 0.69 between teacher and peer marks over all the studies they considered." This is the review's attribution of a pooled estimate from a prior meta-analysis, not a study conducted for this article.
"Falchikov and Goldfinch (2000) conducted a meta-analysis comparing peer marks with teacher assigned marks. They found a mean correlation of 0.69 between teacher and peer marks over all the studies they considered."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Holistic peer feedback correlated significantly with tutor marks while specific-criteria rubric feedback did not in the PEARS system — related
- Grading students on the quality of their reviews rather than on peer-assessed marks reduced tensions and improved student-instructor mark correlations — related
- An accountability feature allowing students to grade received reviews improved the correlation between expert and peer marks in peerScholar — related
- Web-SPA peer review activities showed considerable consistency between instructor and peer marks and improved quality of work — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
