One of my courseworks had me peer assess three students and their essay on an ethical issue.
The sad part is, one of the students didn't seem to understand the question, and thus I had to give them low marks. They talked about the telephone and why it's a great invention, instead of an ethical issue. I tried to give them a few more marks than it's worth and some comments here and there about why they deserve them, but it's really sad to see this person lose marks over not truly understanding English as well as other students.
It's a shame really, but for a lot of people. They're probably going to fail this course and not really care one way or another, so I'm hoping it's the same situation for them.
