Using Self and Peer Assessment in the Teaching of Supply Chain Management

Increased attention to employability of students, higher complexity of decision making, and student surveys indicate the need for the development of innovative teaching approaches for Operations and Supply Chain Management courses. In this paper we present one type of innovative teaching approach applied in a graduate supply chain management course: Self- and peer-assessment in combination with assignments as a part of the course continuous assessment. We discuss our preliminary empirical findings related to: 1) the effects of self- and peer-assessment on student performance and satisfaction 2) structure and nature of self- and peer-assessments.
