First, students were guided to collaborate as a class togenerate rubric for sections of the capstone report, as well as guidelines for constructive andeffective peer feedback. Next, students used these codes to provide feedback in small groups.When students submitted their revised draft, they included a cover letter describing theirreflection on peer feedback
