PeerEval is an app that allows students to evaluate their peers -- the other students in the class -- synchronously as they are listening to their presentations. Teachers can upload their list of students (just 'nicknames') and create their own rubrics for each distinct class session. It relieves the instructor of the burden of having to aggregate the data manually from students' paper evaluation sheets, and provides a stimulus for students to listen more carefully to their peers' presentations. Furthermore, it permits small groups of students in the class to present simultaneously, rather than the traditional frontal presentations to the entire class, which can reduce the student stress.
