They used their insights from the peer feedback to make their papers better toward the final product. Furthermore, the instructors also found that the tool reduced workload because the work was more spread out.

We did receive comments from students, as well as from the work field, that they see many differences in the way teachers assess. Each student is monitored by one anchor teacher during his or her internship. And although we have established clear criteria, the assessment still depends on that one teacher and what words he or she gives to it during the committee. By using Comproved, every teacher now assesses every student. So the judgement is carried by the whole team. Therefore, the final grades really do justice to the students' performance.
