Case Study: North Carolina State University at Raleigh improves STEM peer review and student engagement with Kritik

Wendy Krause Benefits of 360-degree Peer Review in STEM courses

The vendor Kritik provided its peer assessment platform to North Carolina State University at Raleigh for use by Professor Wendy Krause in her Polymeric Biomaterials Engineering course. Her challenge was manually managing peer reviews, which was time-consuming and difficult to implement effectively for her class of 12 students, limiting the potential benefits of peer-to-peer learning.

By implementing Kritik, Professor Krause automated and streamlined the peer review process, making it comprehensive and flexible. The platform's customizable rubric templates and sidebar view made evaluations easier for students. The solution enhanced student engagement, improved the quality of submissions as students saw each other's work, and saved the professor significant grading time, allowing her to use peer assessment for all assignments instead of just one.
