Abstract
The advantages of using students to grade one another's papers are compelling. But can students perform such evaluation tasks honestly and efficiently? This article examines the peer evaluation process undertaken by 60 undergraduate students to determine whether students are consistent graders for both total scores and selected disaggregate evaluation criteria. The overall conclusion is that students are able to grade papers efficiently and consistently.Keywords
