No incentive was offered The idea is good and I think the software works well in generating accurate assignment scores from student reviews. However, many shortcomings need to be fixed before educators feel that the software is saving them time. The ability to integrate with an LMS would help a lot. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The grading algorithm. Students receive a composite grade based on multiple peer reviews that weights assigned scores based on grader quality. The concept is great. #### Cons It doesn’t function as smoothly as other educational software. Setting up assignments is clunky. I ran into issues where I wanted to change an assignment date range and was not allowed. Also images are not easily uploaded into assignments. I had to add images to a Google doc and link them to the assignment. This is an odd work around an obvious deficiency. The software also didn’t integrate into Canvas and students complained about having to learn a new software platform. #### Vendor response Dear Randy, Thank you for writing us a review and your great feedback! Kritik currently does integrate with Canvas and we need to work with your school administrators to get this set up. I'm also happy to share that many of the things that you have brought up in your post are on our upcoming roadmap! Our product team would love to reach out to you to learn more about these use cases to make sure we are building the best product for you and your students. Best KritikHQ Replied January 2023 --- ### Kritik is an effective platform for anonymous peer review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michelle M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The staff and support at Kritik are exceptional. They provide excellent support and low pricing. My students enjoy using Kritik and learning from each other. They have actually requested more activities using Kritik to improve their writing skills. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is user-friendly, inexpensive, and provides excellent user support if students or instructors require any assistance. It allows me to distribute student assignments for peer review with complete anonymity. #### Cons I can't think of any dislikes. Kritik is a high quality product! --- ### Shauna Zorich Honest Kritik Review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Shauna Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My would say my overall experience was mediocre to good. The decreased grading load was great, the software issues were not. The students didn't love it enough for me to stop using Top Hat and replace it with Kritik in my other courses. Though, if I do teach the capstone course again in the future, I would definitely be interested in hearing about updates and would consider it for that particular class. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I have used Kritik in my capstone undergraduate public health course. I liked that it was a relatively easy way to take some of the burden of grading off of me, and place it onto the students in a way that improved the learning process. #### Cons I haven't taught the capstone course in about 2 years, so I am unfamiliar with the updated features of Kritik. When I did use it back in 2020, it was still quite new and had some bugs. For example, it was difficult to deal with late assignments and sometimes my students found that their projects were too big to upload (they were voice-over PPTs). I also found that many of my students gave high grades across the board. But my main issue with using it in other courses is asking my students to pay an additional fee. I have used Top Hat in many of my courses for years and I like its capabilities. I don't plan to give up using Top Hat, but I am also not going to ask my students to pay for two different software programs. In my capstone course, I don't use Top Hat, so I was okay with asking the students to purchase Kritik. #### Vendor response Dear Shauna, Thank you very much for writing us a detailed response. In the past two years, Kritik has evolved its features and functionality, and we would be happy to show you what's new anytime. Please feel free to contact our support team at support@kritik.io if you'd like to set up a meeting to review things - they will be able to ensure you get booked in with the right person.

I really appreciate how this has helped me elevate the peer review process into something far more meaningful. I teach geography, so in addition to all the content delivery, structuring a peer review of this quality is almost impossible. But I also really believe in the importance of helping students collaborate and provide feedback better. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The structure of the platform and how it makes all the menial tasks of setting up peer review incredibly easy. The quality of feedback I see from students who engage meaningfully far surpasses what I was previously able to get them to do in our LMS (Canvas). I am a huge fan of peer review as a concept, but in practice, students are not well situated to do it and it takes a lot of time to set it up well for 200 students. I like how I can delegate points how I want, emphasizing what I want students to engage with. After a brief learning curve of timing, I've also found that the majority of students really appreciate it. This is the only thing they have to pay for in my course, but most find that it's worth the cost and the end of term reviews (I do a career readiness reflection as well as regular class review) overwhelmingly highlight how much they learned both reading and reviewing their classmates' work. That is the best outcome. Well, that and their revisions to assignments are also #### Cons The students seem to be continually confused about the grade they see in Kritik and it can make my email quite unwieldy. I haven't spent much time looking at the student view, but that seems like something that could be fixed, maybe more warnings about the grade they're seeing added or something. I'd also like to be able to weight different assignments differently within the same class. #### Vendor response Dear Leslie, Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy to learn that your students find Kritik beneficial to their learning experience. We plan to make the Student Experience more intuitive for the instructor to see how their class interacts with Kritik. Thanks again!

Students really respond well to Kritik and appreciate the experience of assessing their peers. As an instructor, Kritik provides me the tool to implement peer assessment as part of my courses which I perceive to be a critical component of a well rounded education. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease with which feedback can be provided, the scoring and overall ease of the platform. #### Cons I do not have any complaints at this point. The rubrics that are provided are easily adjustable. Once you get to know the software, it is really easy to use. #### Vendor response Dear Andre! Thank you so much for writing a review for us! We are glad your students find the peer assessment process beneficial to their learning. You can click on Feature Request on your Kritik dashboard if you'd like to request for a feature to be added to our platform. Alternatively, you can also write to support@kritik.io to contact us.

The customer service and technical support was like nothing I have ever seen before. It was OUTSTANDING. The chat button was easy to use, and every question was answered promptly and efficiently. Sometimes they even did the thing I needed (solved the problem) for me, and I didn't even have to do anything to fix it.I loved that the students could use the chat button and access Kritik's help, rather than bother me with technical issues. It was completely supportive for both me and my students. I was also supported in setting up and moving through the program. It did take some time to learn, but Kritik staff were there (what seemed like 24/7) to help all along the way. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I really appreciated the video that explains the purpose of peer evaluation to students so that it is not just coming from my own opinion of how I want to assess student learning.I really appreciated the opportunity for students to assess their peers' learning as I think this is where most of their own learning happens.I really appreciated that the students received feedback from more than just myself. This helped them see that when they succeed or do not succeed, it is not because of my 'hard or inappropriate or unfair' marking. They get a well-rounded viewpoint of how they are doing. And they cannot blame their success (or lack thereof) on me or anyone else. They still try! But Kritik makes everything more objective in the end. #### Cons I least liked that I cannot just use it when I want in any institution. I have to get permission from my institution first, and then student have to be charged accordingly. I wish my whole institution would be on board and it was a natural and normal part of many courses. #### Vendor response Dear Martha, Thank you for writing us a review! We are glad that your students are able to learn from the peer evaluations. Along with the 'student-pay' model, Kritik can also work with your department or institution to pilot the tool school-wide. Feel free to let us know if this is something that would interest you. Best KritikHQ Replied January 2023 --- ### A good way to integrate more qualitative/critical thinking work into lecture courses - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joseph H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I think this is a great solution to the problem of both getting students good feedback on their qualitative assignments and of teaching students to be effective evaluators. The interface is intuitive, and the support is good, making it a good overall experience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This is the only system I'm aware of that does what it does, allowing students to give each other anonymous feedback and allowing professors to assign qualitative, criticial-thinking assignments to a large class without creating a huge grading load. Although the concept can sound intimidating, once you're in the system, the flow is easy, as Kritik directs you (the instructor and students) to the next step and makes sequences and timelines clear. Customer/technical support is instantaneous, and they solve any problems that arise immediately. #### Cons It's important to gauge accurately how much time it will take students to complete an activity. Students often complain that the process on the whole creates more work than is reasonable for this level of course. That can be addressed by making weekly or biweekly assignments very brief and by assigning more weight for participation and less for quality. Because it's a relatively new product, there are occasionally bugs and hiccups, but the staff is quick to fix them. #### Vendor response Dear Joseph, Thank you for writing such a detailed review. We are glad you are able to adapt Kritik to make it work for your course, and your students are building critical thinking skills that drive their learning.

Students were very enthusiastic about using Kritik, because it allowed them to see the level of work of their peers - this led to an overall improvement of the classwork submitted. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Kritik allows students to assess the work of others in the class. It allows choice of number of others to assess, manages the random assignment of assessors, and keeps the assessment anonymous. It allows multiple methods of submission: video, text, pdf file, etc. #### Cons The interface for managing the process can be improved. #### Vendor response Dear Pemberton, Thank you for sharing your experience with Kritik. We love that your students are able to leverage peer assessment technology to improve the quality of their work. As a product, we are constantly improving our platform and would love to hear how we can create a better experience for you and your students. Our Product team will reach out to you to learn more.

It also helps me to gauge the extent to which they are mastering critical health concepts. Kritik helps students develop skills in offering constructive feedback and providing honest assessments of their own and their peers' work. #### Cons For my course needs, there are not any features that I like the least. I use most--if not all--of the available features and provide aggregate data to my students so they can see how the class is performing overall. #### Vendor response Dear Kaston! Thank you for giving us a 10/10 review :) We are so glad you are enjoying Kritik in your courses and that your students are using the platform to learn from their peers and build essential skills that need to succeed.

No incentive was offered It makes my students much more engaged with the class and each other! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love that it gives me an alternative to traditional peer review, which is often messy and difficult to keep track of. #### Cons I wish leaving comments directly on student essays was easier--maybe if there was a Google Drive integration. --- ### Review for use in theater related courses - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nicholas G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Fine Art - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It’s very helpful getting students engaged. Incentivizes engagement and allows them to nearly game of phi. Their participation. #### Cons There’s not a lot of flexibility should a student be late on their response. This means that if a student missed the deadline, I can’t open it back up for them for them to catch up even at a reduced grade. This therefore negatively affects the experience for those who they should’ve engaged with on their work. #### Reasons for switching to Kritik More affordable, and a better in her face #### Vendor response Dear Nicholas, Thank you so much for writing us a review! We are glad that peer assessment with Kritik is improving student engagement in your courses. Regarding late submissions, your students can write on our Live Chat and we can upload late submissions on their behalf. We are also exploring different ways to make the activity schedule more flexible, and our Product team would love to chat with you to gather more of your feedback.

This is the correct pedagogical focus for a student-centered classroom. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This software is easy to use (though there is a learning curve), and the customer support is excellent. I wouldn't use the product if it weren't for the immediate availability of customer support for both teachers and students. #### Cons It would be great if it could be integrated with Brightspace D2L learning management system the way Turnitin is. #### Vendor response Dear Lale! Thank you for giving us a 10/10 review! We are so glad you are enjoying Kritik in your courses and that your students are using the platform to learn from their peers and build essential skills that need to succeed.

I intend to adapt it more to meet my class needs and will use it again in the fall 2023 semester. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Kritik provided good student tutorial material and helped to train students for use of the software. Kritik was able to integrate with Blackboard to make usage simpler. #### Cons Lack of flexibility and control for the instructor. The software is an adjunct to my teaching and assessments, not the center of it. #### Vendor response Dear Peter, Thank you so much for writing a review for us. We are glad your students find our resources helpful in learning about peer review. Our Product team will reach out to you to learn more about how Kritik could be improved to make it even better for you and your students.

No incentive was offered My overall experience with Kritik was amazing! It is one of the best educational programs I have worked with in my 2.5 years as a teaching assistant. Super easy to use, very friendly customer reps, and the students really liked it! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros From an administrative perspective, Kritik was extremely easy to use. All of the features are easy to find, and assignments are easy to set up. Even student grade disputes are easy to resolve! On top of that, the customer service was beyond helpful in quickly and efficiently answering any questions I had. #### Cons Kritik could be improved in the future if they integrated with university course software, like Canvas or Blackboard. Because the program relies on students to sign up to Kritik themselves, some issues can arise late in the semester when students have still not taken the initiative to sign up. I think this might be resolved if Kritik had some automatic integration with other learning softwares. --- ### Kritik makes implementing peer assessment easy - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Alexander G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have found Kritik to be easy to use and made it possible to implement frequent peer assessment activities in my in-person and online classes. Students found the software easy to use and Kritik's tech support was excellent. Using peer assessment with Kritik has allowed me to assign frequent activities that are higher-order learning (i.e., they are not auto-grade like multiple choice assignments), even in classes with as many as 1,700 students. For instance, I have assigned essays, peer-teaching videos, and other writing activities with Kritik. #### Cons I did not have any issues using Kritik. Instructors will have to spend a bit of time explaining why they are using peer assessment since it is likely their students are not familiar with it, however, Kritik has great videos and support articles to help to explain the Kritik platform and peer assessment to students. --- ### Getting students to be critical thinkers and collaborators - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Howard H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
