Measuring the Unmeasurable: Reflections on Designing a Peer-Evaluation Sheet for Student Presentations

Abstract

In this reflective piece, I share my experience designing a peer-evaluation sheet for student presentations in an English Communication Techniques course. I describe how the process revealed both the challenges and possibilities of applying psychometric thinking in everyday classroom practice. I reflect on how students assess their classmates’ presentations. I also share key lessons learned about creating student-friendly criteria and using peer assessment not merely for grading, but as a meaningful tool for learning and reflection.
