Peer Assessment Improves Learning Outcomes

A recent meta-analysis found that peer assessment is a statistically significant improvement over no assessment and over traditional assessment mechanisms. Many studies involved much more limited interventions of peer assessment, but nevertheless found a positive effect on learning outcomes. It's almost possible to say who gives a shit if it doesn't do much for their educational outcomes, if it's still doing all of those other things. But nevertheless, we developed in students critically important skill sets for our democracy  of resilience and discourse.
