Case Study: University of Waterloo improves grading accuracy with Kritik peer assessment

University of Waterloo improves grading accuracy for 1200+ students with Kritik

The University of Waterloo, a large institution, was among many educators hesitant to adopt peer assessment due to concerns over grading accuracy for its sizable classes. This challenge was faced by professors like Heidi Engelhardt, who teaches biology to over 1,200 students.

Kritik addressed this challenge by implementing its 360-degree peer evaluation method, which features Grading Power and a Calibration tool to ensure accuracy. The solution successfully reassured professors at the University of Waterloo and other institutions, enabling them to utilize peer assessment confidently for large courses and improve student engagement through personalized feedback.
