Majority of the students did a normal-level research (but not better - so I didn't apply extra points for extra quality). I posted comments of other students in spreadsheet grading reflecting some shortcomings. Unfortunately only one student used an extra day to respond to the observations in replies and improving the posts. The general weakness was in poor focusing of a rather small post and the resulting weakness of conclusions that are supposed to detail how the post clarified the stated goal of the mini research and what were the main results of such research.
Interesting that even though the grades were hidden from the authors and were more adequate than the open grading - the comments on the problems in the posts were harsher than in the published reviews, where the feedback critique was insufficient, which resulted in its grading. This in turn, didn't allow the authors to apply the full force of their in correcting the problems. The spreadsheets were all properly done, which shows that the zoho sheet part was sufficiently understood - this saved reviewing/grading from really low points...
As a result, majority had their grades in the range between 5 and 7 points.
