Students carried out 2 individual reviews as described in Methods, with review 2 being used to generate the group review. Changes in scores between different reviews are reported as Δ[Review#]→[Review#] and were normalized to give a range of change from −1 (maximum decrease) to +1 (maximum improvement), with 0 signifying no change in peer review quality. See Table 2 for description of the instruments used.
