Create a Buddycheck Likert peer evaluation (Ultra)
Why would I use a Likert peer evaluation?
A Likert peer evaluation using Buddycheck allows students to rate their peer's performance across a series of questions (using a likert scale), providing staff with insights into how individual students have performed within their group.
Once the peer evaluation is completed and the results have been moderated, a coordinator can choose to publish the average likert score back to Gradebook or apply an Adjustment Factor (multiplier) against a group's assessment mark in Gradebook.
Warning: To prevent Buddycheck results from being automatically released when published to the Gradebook, ensure you select the option to create a Gradebook column during the initial setup so that the column can be hidden from students after setup.

Warning: To prevent Buddycheck results from being automatically released when published to the Gradebook, you will need to make the Buddycheck column Hidden from students.
Note: If you failed to create a Gradebook column during the creation of your Buddycheck assessment, refer to the Create a Gradebook column guide.
