The current calculation method for peer assessments is the median. This project aims to allow additional calculation methods such as the average.
Problem
The peer asessment step currently calculates the step score for each criterion by taking the median of the scores given by each peer. This decision may have been rooted in preventing outliers (extremely low scores in particular) from dragging the score down.
Alternative strategies such as the “Average all” or “Average drop low“ may be better suited for some educators or specific contexts.
Use cases:
As an instructor/learner, I need to be able to calculate the peer step grade as the average of all peer scores received, instead of the median.
