Have you taken the Dan Grossman's Programming Languages on Coursera? It gives a very detailed rubric– you're required to complete 3 peer reviews and a self evaluation with the same rubric. That being said the peer review is only worth 10% of your homework grade, the rest is done by the autograder. I haven't gotten a ton of feedback so far– just reviewing other people's solutions is probably more helpful. Still, it's better than some of the other courses. It would be great if there was an incentive for providing meaningful feedback– I don't know if rating your feedback would be taking that too far but it might be more effective than a simple wordcount.
My experience on EdX is limited to MIT and Delft– I'm looking forward to a time when I can try out one of the Harvard classes.
- ghaff 13y agoI haven't taken that particular course. I suspect that peer grading could be made better through incentives but, at some point, you're limited by what your peers are capable of in terms of providing feedback. That said, even making the peer review process more explicitly about feedback than grades would be a be a nice framing in the right direction. I'm taking a HarvardX course on Science and Cooking at the moment which is very well done. Not exactly programming though :-)
