Peering Inside Peer Review with Bayesian Models

Instructors and students would benefit more from computersupported peer review, if instructors received information on how well students have understood the conceptual issues underlying the writing assignment. Our aim is to provide instructors with an evaluation of both the students and the criteria that students used to assess each other. Here we develop and evaluate several hierarchical Bayes...
