<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Include Teacher's Grade</B></P>

<p>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.</p>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>The League Table of Submissions</B></P>

<p>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 &quot;All&quot;. If set to
Zero then the League Table is <b>not</b> 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
&quot;All&quot; gives a table that lists all the submissions.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>The Over Allocation Level</B></P>

<p>This level determines whether the allocation of peer assessments to the class
is balanced or not. Here the term &quot;balanced&quot; 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.</p>

<p>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
&quot;quota&quot; of submissions to assess and they do <b>not</b> have to
wait for late submissions. Waiting for late submissions should be even rarer
when the level is set to TWO.</p>

<p>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 &quot;flow&quot; 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.</p>
