, the feedback comes more quickly. An author canusually see the feedback as soon as the reviewer provides it, rather than having to wait until theinstructor or TA is finished grading all the students. Finally, peer assessment forces students towrite in a way that their peers can understand. They can’t use shorthand that the instructor, withhis/her superior knowledge, is expected to decipher. They learn to write for an audience of theirpeers, which is exactly the skill they need for later in their careers. Peer assessment has beenshown to improve learning across the curriculum [1].Online peer-assessment systems perform the same basic functions, though they often havefeatures aimed at the types of courses taught by their designers, e.g., art

Then they meet and discuss their findings, making sure thatnothing of importance is missed. Following that, codes are assigned to the different attitudes,values, and beliefs noted, thereby categorizing and organizing all codes.Codes are

In some sections of the experimental US1100classes, a design project was completed after design theory was taught. Introducing students todesign early on in their academic careers has been shown to help students develop crucial skillsthat they would need throughout the remainder of their education and well into their career, suchas critical thinking, working effectively in teams, and technical
