Abstract

In the current curriculum, as part of a research skills exercise, second year veterinary undergraduate students have to submit a short literature review with appropriate reference style. In semester 1, as a part of formative assessment all students (n=156) were asked to submit their Literature Review via Turnitin. Each student had to review and critique two submissions of their peers. In general, the undergraduate students have very little experience of scientific writing and providing a constructive feedback to their peers. In the PeerMark, we therefore, asked students to provide constructive feedback by responding to both open ended and scaled questions. The students were also encouraged to make specific comments where necessary. In the second phase, course instructor reviewed the feedback from the students and added appropriate comments where necessary.
