Peer Feedback Question Generator

Generates a structured question for giving useful peer feedback — specific enough to be actionable, distinct from vague 'good job' comments.

What this generator does

Draws a question for a student to answer about another student's work. The question is what makes peer feedback useful — asked for 'feedback', students write 'good work'; asked a specific question, they have to read it.

What you'll get

This generator draws from a hand-checked list of 30 entries. Here is a spread of 6 of them, so you can see the style before you generate:

  • What's the strongest part of this work, and why does it work well?
  • What would you want to know more about?
  • What did the writer assume you already knew?
  • Which example works hardest, and which could be cut?
  • Which part would you struggle to explain to someone else?
  • Does the work do what the task actually asked, or something adjacent?

A fixed sample of the list, not a live draw — your own results are picked at random from all 30, without repeating until the list runs out. Original authoring for Generate Random — general peer-review prompts, subject-neutral.. Last reviewed 2026-09-03.

  • Peer-review sessions
  • Structured peer-assessment activities
  • Improving feedback quality

Randomness and fairness

Questions are drawn uniformly with the browser's cryptographic random number generator, with no subject awareness.

Practical tips

  • Two questions maximum, and require an answer in full sentences.
  • Pair the questions with a pairing generator so nobody reviews the person reviewing them — mutual pairs produce noticeably softer feedback in both directions.
