Clients
This is what users of the comparing-tool say
"Students found it difficult that they sometimes received conflicting feedback. But you can also learn from that. There is a reason why opinions differ and those opinions help to revisit your text on specific aspects. This way, students learn to deal with that uncertainty. I think that's one of the biggest advantages of Comproved."
"The biggest advantage of comparative judgment? I think there are several big advantages. To sum up: comparative judgment is fair, natural and efficient."
"The ranking based on the peer assessment did justice to the actual quality of the papers. The students did a good job of sensing which paper was of better quality and which was not."
"In the Construction programme, we assessed the personal brand of students using the tool. That was a success. Other subjects are now also interested. The reliability is particularly appealing. Teachers are getting more and more complaints, so they have to be self-confident. The use of the comparison tool helps in this respect."
"This takes some getting used to. It looks like Tinder for improvement work, but Comproved is really great!"
"How do you rate the quality of an interactive installation for a theatre festival? Assessments with rubrics are not appropriate here. Holistic assessment with the comparison tool offers a solution."
