Kritik
This term, we will be using Kritik (www.kritik.io), a peer-to-peer learning and evaluation platform. Kritik puts you, the student, at the center of your learning. Kritik is focused on an important goal: to help you in developing critical thinking and communication skills, which in turn set you up for success both in and out of the classroom.
Each Kritik activity has 3 unique stages:
Stage 1: Create → Follow the instructions, read the provided rubric and create a submission
Stage 2: Evaluate → Anonymously score your peers based on the rubric, and provide written comments
Stage 3: Feedback → Provide your peer evaluators anonymous feedback in relation to how motivational and critical their written comments were
Grading
When you participate in Kritik activities, you will receive 4 scores: Creation score, Evaluation score, Feedback score, and Overall score.
Registration/Support
An email invitation will be sent to your school email account that contains information on how to register for a Kritik account and enroll in the course.
