Abstract
A guaranteed method of ensuring students submit quality assessments is through feedback on drafts. However, it could be challenging for faculty teachers to fit this in the course schedule and to facilitate this activity. In this presentation, colleagues from different disciplines talk about why they have embedded peer feedback in their courses, ways in which they have facilitated the activity, and their perceptions of the value of the activity to students and themselves.
About the Speakers
Dr. Elizabeth Barrett primarily teaches students who are training to become speech therapists or early childhood educators. Dr. Barrett has worked collaboratively with undergraduate students to co-develop a suite of e-learning resources for cross-program use, with the support of funding. At the course-level, she has worked to re-design assessments to create opportunities for students to take the lead on learning-and-teaching in the classroom and develop their communication skills. Dr. Barrett enjoys collaborating with students and colleagues to develop engaging and interdisciplinary learning experiences for students.
Dr. Clotilde Landais taught Professional French and Comparative Literature at Pepperdine University in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and at Purdue University, USA prior to accepting a position at HKU in 2021.

She obtained her PhD in Environmental Sciences from the University du Quebec à Montreal, Canada in 2011.

She also has been invited at numerous occasions to share her research with government departments, private sector, NGOs, schools, and the public on all matters concerning climate change and plastic pollution. Dr. Not is the coordinator of the Environmental Science major at the University of Hong Kong and the convenor of the Science and Technology Area of Inquiry within the Common Core curriculum.
