Include Teacher's Grade

+ +

This option allows the teacher's assessments of the submissions to be included + as though they were peer assessments. If this option is set to YES then the teacher's + assessments are in effect counted twice, firstly as the normal teacher's + assessment and secondly by including them in the pool of peer assessments. + The teacher might want to do this if (a) the number of peer assessments of + each submission is low or (b) to try to stablise the peer assessments when + they appear to be either biased or unreliable.

The League Table of Submissions

+ +

The League Table lists the best submissions produced in the assignment. The number + of entries can set to Zero, a number between 1 and 20, 50 or "All". If set to + Zero then the League Table is not displayed. If it is set to a number between + 1 and 20 or 50 then that number of submissions are shown, for example, setting + the number to 10 shows the top ten submissions. Setting the number to + "All" gives a table that lists all the submissions.

+ +

The second option contols whether the names of the students are included + in the Table or not. This option controls the students' view of the Table, the teacher + always sees the names of the students.

The Over Allocation Level

+ +

This level determines whether the allocation of peer assessments to the class +is balanced or not. Here the term "balanced" applies to the number +of times each student submission is allocated for (peer) assessment. When the +Over Allocation Level is set to ZERO, all the submissions are allocated the same +number of times, that is, the allocation is balanced. When the Level is set to ONE +then some of the submissions may be alocated once more than other allocations +(and it follows from this that some of the submissions may be allocated once +less than other allocations), that is the allocation is unbalanced. Similiarly if the +Level is set to TWO then a greater unbalance is allowed.

+ +

Ideally all peer assessments should be balanced. However, the disadvantage +is that some students will not have their full quota of submissions to assess +until AFTER the last student has submitted their work. When the Over Allocation +Level is set to ONE, then most students will find that they have their full +"quota" of submissions to assess and they do not have to +wait for late submissions. Waiting for late submissions should be even rarer +when the level is set to TWO.

+ +

So in a Workshop assignment where the number of peer assessments is +set to 5, if there are no problems if some of the submissions will be (peer) +assessed 4 times, some 5 times and others 6 times, then the assignment +will "flow" smoother and the the students will not have to wait so +long (if at all) for others to submit work if the Over Allocation Level is +changed from its default value of ZERO and set to ONE.
