SUMMARY Peer assessment is a valuable tool for developing student skills whereby they gain insight into evaluating their own level of understanding within a subject. It encourages student participation in the processes of learning and assessment, but is not widely utilized. This paper reports on the issues raised by this method of assessment when used to mark clinical case studies in a large anatomy class of first year medical students.
