Assignment 1: Calibration Exercise
Objective
Your first Peer-to-Peer Evaluation assignment is a Calibration Activity, which is designed to ensure grading accuracy for all future assignments. This is a simple exercise to familiarize yourself with the Kritik platform. and provides a submission which will calibrate your assessment effort against a standard assessment completed by the instructor and you will get a 2% participation grade just for completing the exercise so how well you do on this activity won't be counted toward a grade.
For this activity, you will evaluate three samples of student work ("creations") using the rubric provided. The way you score the creations will then be compared by the Kritik system to the way the instructor has scored the same creations. Depending on how large or small the delta is between the scores you gave and the scores the instructor gave, your Kritik Grading Power will be adjusted accordingly. The closer you are to how the instructor graded, the higher your grading power will be. Grading power determines how much weight the scores you give your peers will have toward the final grades your peers receive for their creations.
Note: you will see 4 Stars in your evaluation template but notice that you can assign 1/2 stars to any element of the rubric ( 3 1/2 stars for example)
