How to Evaluate Your Peer's Code Using Coding Authorship Tracking

In the Evaluate stage, students will evaluate and provide written feedback on the anonymous submissions of their peers.

This is the stage where a lot of the learning and critical thinking occurs as students are exposed to how their peers solved the same problem they were working on. By having students evaluate their peers based on a rubric, students are required to make micro-decisions, which strengthens their critical thinking skills.

The first step is for students to take a pause and click on “I’m ready to evaluate.” This allows students to reflect and prepare for the evaluation stage by reading evaluation best practices and any evaluation notes the instructor provided.

Once students click “I’m Ready to Evaluate,” their peers’ submissions will become visible to them. For Coding Authorship Tracking activities, to see their peer’s submission, students would need to click “Open code in a new tab.”

Once students click “Open code in a new tab,” they will be able to access their peer’s submission in another browser tab:

There, students can see which parts of the code are AI-generated, pasted, or original. Students are also able to see their peers' AI chat history and a replay of how they completed their assignment. Having access to this information enables students to not only see the final product but also the thought process and iterations of how their peers completed the assignment. This allows student evaluators to provide much richer feedback to their peers.
