Prompt objective
Implement a peer review process that produces reliable, constructive feedback between students, with calibration exercises to ensure review quality and consistency across the cohort.
Real use case
A design course with 120 students per cohort has the instructor spending 40 hours grading projects. A peer review system could reduce this to 10 hours while giving students more diverse feedback and developing their critical evaluation skills.

Prompt
Design a peer review system for [COURSE NAME] on [TOPIC], with [NUMBER] students per cohort and [NUMBER] assignments requiring peer feedback. **Peer Review Structure:** Assignment cycle: 1. Student submits work by [DEADLINE] 2. System assigns 3 peer reviewers (random, not reciprocal) 3. Reviewers complete evaluation within 48 hours 4. Author receives feedback and writes reflection 5. Instructor reviews a sample of reviews for quality **Reviewer Assignment Rules:** - Each student reviews 3 peers' work - Never review your own work or your friend's (if detectable) - Mix skill levels: pair stronger students with developing ones - Rotate reviewers each assignment (don't repeat pairs) - Anonymous reviews (reviewer identity hidden from author) **Calibration Exercise (critical for quality):** Before first peer review: 1. Instructor provides a sample submission (anonymous, from past cohort) 2. All students evaluate it using the rubric independently 3. Compare scores: identify wide discrepancies 4. Group discussion: why did scores differ? 5. Instructor shares
