Can students mark each other’s tests?
• Personal information of students is disclosed when students mark each other’s tests. • This disclosure is permitted when it is done for an educational purpose. Group learning activities may be used in the classroom, and students can learn from critiquing the work of other students. • Schools should consider the merits of this practice in the classroom and use it at the discretion of teachers. • If this method of marking is convenient, but not educational, it should not be used.
