The Consensual Assessment Technique: Refinement and Further Development

Abstract

The chapter by Roni Reiter-Palmon details the extension and modification of the consensual assessment technique over the years it has been used in research. In her chapter she indicates that modifications were necessary due to the use of everyday problems and the lack of expert judges. She then provides information on the specific modifications such as the use of separate ratings for solution quality (usefulness) and originality (novelty) and rater training.
