Course: Einführung in die KI - What is a Peer Assessment?

 

In a peer assessment, learners evaluate the work of their fellow learners. This promotes understanding and learning ability as they engage deeply with others' work and provide constructive feedback.

In the course "Introduction to AI", the assignment cycle starts every month on the 10th and extends for about three weeks. During this period, you will complete the tasks and review assessments by other participants. From the 30th of the month, you can view peer reviews and receive corresponding points.

If you are unable to complete the assignment within the specified timeframe and submit a response, you can simply participate again in the next cycle and start over. Unfortunately, it is not possible to expedite or change this process. Therefore, we recommend allocating sufficient time to participate in the course. For more information, please visit here.
