Strategy Description

Peer review feedback is a utilitarian strategy and great practice in any course. Providing peer reviews has significant advantages including having to make judgements about peer submissions requiring a higher taxonomy of knowledge about the material, resulting in increased understanding. Additionally, this teaches students mistake avoidance, improving skills as well as increasing motivation. This entry provides details about an assignment which asks students to personally reflect and then offer supportive feedback to peers regarding their leadership development.
