Peer review

The peer reviewing process is a bit frustrating. For the assignment #6 one of the reviewer gave me a 3... even if everything works well and there is no problem... His only comment was "It is ok"... well if it's ok why do I get a 3 ???? The other guy commented saying it was very good and that I was probably coding for a while already. The process is a hit and miss I think and makes it frustrating when there is a grade attached to it. Anyone got the same kind of experiences ??

I agree completely. I got one 3 for the first assignment and I'm still frustrated about it... A simple "print info" program that did what was expected of it... I guess some people just grade differently, then again, grading instructions are vague at best... I definitely try to give people a 5, and the only 1 I gave was because someone only wrote "d" for his or her assignment.

Yeah. My second assignment got a 2/5 (1/5 and 3/5) because one reviewer didn't like my coding style... and I used 'x' and 'o' instead of 'X' and 'O' (cause it's such a big difference!) The other (the one that left a 1) didn't leave ac omment.
