Assistant Professor, Journalism
In my Media Design classes, peer critique is a very important
learning component. I encourage students to honestly evaluate their
classmates’ work. In spite of my best efforts, students are normally
reluctant to share honestly. In the past, some have not participated
at all.
That has all changed since I implemented “Critique Participation
Cards” (CPC). A reusable CPC card is made and given to each student.
The card has their name and class number on it. Anytime during the
crit, when I feel that the student has sufficiently participated, I
will collect their card. The card counts for a significant part of
their grade. When the crit ends, no more cards are collected. If the
student still holds their CPC when class ends, then they lose their
CPC points. It is fun and a kind of game for some students. It works
with all students.
If you would like more information, or have a question on Peer
Critique, you can e-mail Randy Livingston at: rlivings@mtsu.edu.
