Peer Evaluation

Seriously, I think that peer evaluation is a very 'exciting' and 'nervous' activity. It is more stressful to be evaluated by our own freidns rather than the tutor and lecturer. Personally, I would think this way because peer evaluation is done by a big number of people in the class while tutor evaluation is done by only one tutor. so, I tend to feel uneasy to be 'watched' by so many pairs of eyes, knowing that they will judge you from tip to toe. Every posture, speech, action and reflect will be evaluated. Of course, somehow I know that peer evaluation can encourage you for better improvement than tutor evaluation. This is because friends are the persons who stay with you all the time, knowing most of your behaviors and attitude. Therefore, I would say they understadn me more than the tutor. However, peer evalutaion is prone to be bias as our friendds normally won't judge us from our presentation only, but also from our performance in the course. Of course, I have been one of those who evaluate our own friends. I think I would know what weakness and strong points my friends have and pay attention to these while evaluating them. So, I couldn't deny that I may view that subjectively. Nevertheless, I would give my sincere opinion on their presentations in order to help them in improving. Most of us are going to be teachers one day and I hope we can really handle the responsibility as educators.
