Quizes in college

[tennisball80]

When you get a quiz in college, do you switch the answer sheet with another person so you mark it for each other like in high school ? Or the professors or TAs always mark the quiz for you so the students don't mark for each other ?

Thanks comments in advance

Hmm, I think that this really depends on which college and which university. I do not think it's really even a universal thing in all high schools. For example, in my high school, we rarely did this. So far, in my limited college experience, the professors/TAs have graded everything. Also, in college (at least for me), most of my tests/quizzes have been short answer/extended response, which is difficult for other students to grade impartially.

I have never been in a class that does this

There is too much at stake to do this. I will say with high confidence that it doesn't happen.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. You'll hand in your quizzes and whatever else you may have that gets graded.

Your peers will never grade each other's papers. I'm fairly positive.

I don't think you'll ever be in a situation where another student grades your exam/quiz. The only peer-grading that I ever went through in college was in Organic II. We had to present during quiz-class and the other students would grade you based on pass/fail.

BTW, I've noticed that you've been posting a lot of "high school vs. college" threads lately. It's really not that scary. You start getting used to it after the first week. If I were you, I would be having fun right now(I wish I was still in highschool). Don't worry about it too much. You'll be fine .
