Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pair students up and provide self-assessment and peer-assessment scoring guidelines. This option would give students the chance to self-assess and peer-assess using criteria developed by the teacher. Doing this would allow them to grade based on the expectations of the teacher rather than with no guidance at all.
