Case Study: Florida State University builds collaborative teams and peer feedback skills with Kritik

Sam Staley Building Collaborative Teams with Peer Assessment

Florida State University economics professor Dr. Sam Staley faced challenges in getting his students to work together effectively in teams and to build their presentation skills. To address this, he implemented the Kritik platform to foster a more collaborative learning environment and instill critical thinking abilities in his students.

Using Kritik's peer assessment system, Dr. Staley created detailed rubrics to guide students in providing meaningful feedback. The solution enabled a quick turnaround of personalized feedback within two days and drastically reduced grading disputes to less than 2%. Kritik helped students become more engaged with the material, embrace constructive criticism, and develop essential soft skills for the workforce, all while creating a trusted and inclusive classroom environment.
