What did we discover?
I was anxious – I thought ‘am I good enough to assess someone else?’
I was more than satisfied with my peer
feedback ... it’s the most important thing if we
want to learn from each other.
Peer feedback can develop a sense of community of helping each other and a
feeling of equal value.
