3. PEER ASSESSMENT

In formal education learning is assessed through tests, projects, assignments, etc.

The teacher or lecturer marks the work, making the final decision

Assessment of work by fellow classmates or participants is rarely used to make the ‘final decision’.

12

PEER ASSESSMENT

This project will guide you through the steps to make judgements on the work of your colleagues

Your judgements combined with a review by a panel of assessors from the Project Team and the Pharmacy Guild will form the final assessment decision

All participants assessed as competent will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment
