Grade a select amount of assignments as a baseline. Allow students to mark the remainder of assignments. Kritik will allot each student a Kritik Score based on the accuracy of their grading and automatically and proportionally tailor the grades they gave to other students based upon their Evaluation score. Calibration & anonymous peer review removes any threat of personal bias or favouritism. This ensures each assignment a student submits is carefully assessed & graded fairly.
Weighted Peer Grading
The impact of each grader on the final grade varies based on their previous performance in grading. Kritik uses data to determine who is a good grader. "TA-level" graders will have a higher weight towards the creation score of peers, increasing the accuracy of the final scores.
Traditionally, students do not get the chance to provide feedback back to their peer evaluators on the evaluations they receive (a key part of the whole process). Kritik uses our Feedback stage to help students improve on their critical thinking skills and determine the quality of evaluations from a motivational and critical standpoint as rated by peers. Kritik assesses each student's feedback on not just the quality of the critique, but how motivating it is to the student-recipient. If a student is flagged for presenting a non-motivational critique, they can use Kritik's online resources and templates to better structure their critiques for future uses.
That is how Kritik's platform guides students to become better evaluators without adding instructional time to educators.
