• Peer assessment improves academic performance by a small average amount relative to no assessment or to teacher assessment — a broader claim this one bears on
• Grading students on the quality of their reviews rather than on peer-assessed marks reduced tensions and improved student-instructor mark correlations — related
• Peer assessment through tests, marks, and grades produces learning gains and reduced anxiety, with most participants reporting learning benefits — related
