Abstract

This study reports the effectiveness of self‐ and peer‐assessment in improving students’  learning experience. Students in a group of four were required to submit two selfassessments, one after the first submission and the other during the final submission of  the assignment. An anonymous assignment was then given to each group for a peer‐based  assessment.  Students  were  asked  to  respond  to  the  comments  given  in  the  peerassessment  and  were  given  the  chance  to  revise  their  assignment  before  the  final  submission. The results show that both self‐and peer‐assessments were perceived as  enabling students to become more critical, work in a more structured way and think more  deeply. Peer‐assessment was especially highly regarded, as students felt they learned more  from the given feedback and became analytical after the peer‐assessment. Although most  of the students felt that both the self‐ and peer‐assessments were time consuming, they  would love to have peer‐assessment in their future assignment.
