Hiding the Display of Grades

This option can be used in a workshop assignment where there must be agreement between the students on each assessment. The default value is to show the student whose work is being assessed both the comments and the grades in the peer assessments. This may lead to more disputes than when the option is turned on and the assessments are shown without the grades.

If the option is taken to hide grades in the peer assessments the grades are revealed once agreement has been reached. This agreement will, of course, have been made only on the comments. If these comments do not reasonably match the grades then the student whose work is being assessed may well appeal to the teacher.
