Cover Story: Project-based learning (PBL) is a popular active learning method in STEM education, yet issues of unequal participation in group work often arise. To address this, we integrated peer evaluation using Buddycheck into a PBL summative assessment. Students worked in small groups to create and present posters, while Buddycheck allowed them to assess each other’s contributions. The peer evaluation produced an adjustment factor applied to group marks to determine individual grades based on performance. Students reported that this promoted fairness, enhanced accountability, and boosted engagement. Overall, Buddycheck was well received, leading to better group dynamics, improved learning outcomes, and higher final grades. View this paper
