ABSTRACT The use of peer assessment as a way of differentiating between individual students on a group project is discussed. A new style of peer appraisal questionnaire for the students to complete is introduced, together with the detailed description of a method of calculating a ‘peer assessment factor’ from these questionnaires. This factor allocates to an individual group member a percentage of the mark awarded to the group's project submission. The results obtained when this scheme was used on a large first year course are discussed, together with some possible modifications and their effects. Examples of the appraisal questionnaire and the calculations are included
