Contribution: This research presents a case study of an online peer assessment (PA) implementation in a random processes course. Students were required to submit simulation assignments, and then to evaluate their peers’ submissions. The research explored the students’ perception of the activity throughout the course using surveys, and their behavior and academic performance using data obtained in the course. Background: With decreased resources and larger class sizes, the obligatory theoretical random processes course in the electrical engineering program presents a challenge with regard to students’ motivation and assimilation of the academic material. Intended Outcomes: In preceding research, PA was found to provide benefits for students’ learning, without significantly burdening teaching staff resources. The implementation was directed at achieving these benefits. Application Design: Simulation exercises were designed to provide illustrations of relatively abstract material, and PA was instituted to facilitate better learning of the material without imposing greater resource requirements on the teaching staff. Findings: Results indicated that PA, although executed in accordance with the best practices presented in the literature, failed to achieve the benefits expected, and might even have contributed to lower grades in the course.

本科电气工程课程在线对等评估

贡献：这项研究提出了一个随机过程课程中的在线对等评估（PA）实施的案例研究。要求学生提交模拟作业，然后评估其同龄人的作业。该研究使用调查表调查了学生在整个课程中的活动感知，并使用在课程中获得的数据来研究他们的行为和学习成绩。背景： 随着资源的减少和班级规模的增加，电气工程课程中的强制性理论随机过程课程对学生的动机和对学术资料的吸收提出了挑战。 预期结果：在先前的研究中，发现PA可以为学生的学习带来好处，而不会显着增加教学人员的资源负担。该实施旨在实现这些好处。应用设计： 设计了模拟练习，以提供相对抽象的材料的插图，并建立了PA，以促进更好地学习该材料，而又不对教职人员施加更大的资源要求。 发现： 结果表明，尽管PA是按照文献中介绍的最佳实践执行的，但未能实现预期的收益，甚至可能对课程中的较低成绩有所帮助。
