In this activity, a student receives tips to improve his/her (written) product because peers give tips from specific expertise. It is important that peers know when feedback is effective, so this must be explained beforehand. It is good to know that particularly the students who give feedback achieve the highest learning outcome.
• Discuss with students tips and rules for giving and receiving feedback. • Let students indicate themselves where they want to receive feedback (using learning objectives, assessment criteria, or process criteria). • Create expert groups of 3-4 students who each give feedback on a specific part of the product (e.g., expert group for writing style, expert group for analytical skills, etc.). • The developer of the product always remains the owner of their own text: they decide which changes are implemented or not and in what way.
