Development of the 360 degrees peer assessment system [Pilar Garcia Souto]
Students often do not feel the motivation to engage with the traditional peer assessment (PA) methods.

Doctoral Skills Challenge: How do researchers assess their skills? [Rochelle Rowe / Kasia Bronk]
What skills do you need to do excellent research? What are you good at now? What might you develop for future? Postgraduate researchers in UK use the Researcher Development Framework to asses and track their professional development. For UCL postgraduate research students, there is a dedicated self-assessment tool available in their Research Student Log. But how can we make this experience both reflexive and practical?
