I really appreciated UoP's open-access model, but the more I thought about it, I felt the way they've geared themselves toward student-oriented peer assessments shifts the burden of instructional outcomes to the student body. I understand they need some way to replace instructors/TAs checking content so that students will get assessed, but the system just didn't feel fully thought out to me since the students themselves aren't experts, any provided comments and feedback may only be superficial at best when given by students who use English as a second language, their grading rubrics seem to be followed only haphazardly if their own instructor training materials are any guide, and in general peer collaboration is different from peer evaluation anyway.

I get that it's all part of their cost-saving approach, but it seems like the students needed more training from UoP to view themselves as shared stakeholders in their class' learning process.
