2. Read the answers of some of your peers.
3.Make a reply to your own post with any corrections to your responses.
4.Read the answers of some of your peers and make a reply to at least one other person. Make sure you reply using the standard assessment
Strength: what is the greatest strength of the person’s post; Improvement: how can they improve in future assignments; Insight: something insightful you find out from assessing their performance.) Your goal is to help the student improve their future performance, NOT judge the quality of the post. Check the feedback from your practice self-assessment and use this to guide your peer assessment. If you still have questions about what constitutes an assessment then go to the Course Information folder and view the presentation linked..
BASICALLY ((Critical Thinking Questions – These are questions that elevate your learning from the level of information (Level 1) to that of application (Level 3). You should respond in complete sentences. Some problems are very challenging but you are expected to answer all of them and get most of them correct. Any mistakes should be corrected once you have reviewed the posts of the instructor and your peers. You must post your initial thread and any replies before the deadline. The type of reply (e.g. peer assessment, corrections, etc.) varies with each experience so pay attention to the instructions. Twice we will have group discussion assignments where you will post in wikis as a class.))
