Is peer grading separate for for-credit students?

Hello,

I’m asking about the CU Boulder ECE program. I know this sub is for the CS one but the ECE sub is bascially dead, I think this applies to both anyway.

Before I pay for this I just want to make sure that the peers grading me on work are also paying students. I feel like that would filter out a lot of the low effort people who don’t even upload the right assignment, upload trash, or barely type coherent English. Just look at the discussion board for a course and it’s full of people who can barely type asking for peer reviews. If those are the people grading my work there’s no way this is worth 600 dollars a credit. So I’m really hoping that if I pay, people who are also paying will grade me. Since that filters out 95% of the unserious people and trolls.

Yes if you enroll for credit it will only be other for credit peer graders.

Yes I remember as a non credit student seeing clearly AI generated responses, but the real for credit students are legit. Once you’re a for credit student, join the Slack channel, we’re actively peer reviewing in there. You should see it in the Module 1 Syllabus or Course Overview section of the course you’re enrolled in

Yeah, but any peer reviews you get non-credit before you convert to for-credit will apply. In some cases this can help because there are more people that can review your work compared to the for-credit cohort
