An overall agreement on the use of a group self assessment procedure

There is very good agreement among students on the fairness of peer assessment and the convenience of the voting procedure (setting ground rules and online voting) (scales 2 & 3 in Figure 2). Disagreement increases slightly for the principle of group assessment (scale 1). For about 15% of respondents, it does not reduce anxiety or increase willingness to participate. Overall, however, the procedure can be considered acceptable by more than 70% of the population. The effects on group working and group beliefs (scales 4 & 5) have a much higher percentage of disagreement, although a very convincing majority still confirms positive effects. A large majority (70%) reports an improved overall experience.
