Evaluation Phase (Phase 2)
In this part of the assignment you will be marking 5 of your fellow students' writing assignments from
Phase 1, and justifying those grades with appropriate comments. (Be nice! Constructive comments are
helpful!). The success of PeerScholar rests on you marking each other fairly and, as a result, feeling like
your answers were marked fairly. Please take this part of the assignment seriously and try your best to
be a fair evaluator. Students should first read all 5 answers carefully. Once you have read the answers
you will be required to give a score out of 10 for each answer according to the rubric presented below.
Remember, you must complete the evaluation phase appropriately in order for your mark to count!
Marking Rubric for the Critical Thinking Piece
When evaluating please remember that you are evaluating how well the author has composed,
supported and justified their argument. You do not necessarily have to agree with it, just judge how
well the point was articulated and justified.
