Abstract
Peer reviews are useful to engage students with their peers’ course work, leading to mutual reflection on the topic of interest, and consequently to increased quality of learning. We share our experience with the application of peer reviews on a full-semester project assignment in a Web design course. We describe the methodology that we developed and employed to manage the peer review process and analyze the results in terms of improved learning outcomes.
