Peer feedback, review & evaluation

• Peer feedback: the students write a communal report (on a wiki) and provide peer feedback on parts of it

• Peer review: the students write an individual scientific article and a peer review of each other’s concepts

• Peer evaluation: the students fill in peer evaluation modules via the Scorion tool: individual and team assessment

• Self evaluation: students reflect upon their Belbin role during the research project and at the end of it
