No, that rule does not apply to Calibrated Peer Review. The intent of that provision is to keep students from acting as graders without adequate training or supervision; in CPR peers are “certified” to grade a given assignment, and they must “re-certify” for each assignment. If they do not certify, their judgment does not count. Furthermore, there is a concern over power—over who has the authority to act as a grader. In CPR, the small portion of the grade assigned by any given student is anonymous. Finally, the instructor reviews all grades given in CPR and can easily make judgments to override anything that looks anomalous.
