Quadratic - Part 2 Peer Assessment

by Mr Johari

This is a followup to the individual assessment activity on Quadratic. 

• In this activity you are required to assess the work done by your peers.
• This is an individual effort.
• Each student will be required to assess only 2 questions as shown in the chart below.
• Objectively you are not allowed to assess your own work.
• The criteria for assessment is shown in table 2. (no grading required, the rubric serves as a guide for you)

Method of Assessment

• Read the question carefully. Highlight key terms or words such as evaluate, expand, simplify, prove etc.
• Review the solution done by your peers. Use the following guiding questions
• Is the Mathematical Concept sound? Is there evident that the student understands the concept (through the working/process shown)
• Do you understand the explanation given without any doubts?
• Is the process clearly shown?
• Is the process well organised and easy to follow?
• Does the answer make sense? 

• Post as Comment (under the question(s) assigned the following:
• Your thoughts on the following
• clarity of mathematical concept as required by the question (if there is ambiguity or lack of clarity state why example: the sum of roots is not clearly defined or the final answer does not take into consideration that a>0 etc)
• clarity of explanation/process (example: the working is not explicitly shown, it is difficult to understand, explanation is succinct and easy to follow and comprehend)
• organisation of answer (example: the answer is clear and takes into consideration of the conditions stated in question such as a>0, the organisation is weak and very vague, some important steps are skipped etc)
