Overall, this program is great. I like the variety of reading, videos, activities, and tests. The instructors have been engaging and knowledgeable, and the content is extremely helpful. I do, however, have a comment regarding a significant frustration:

I like the concept of peer grading (it allows you the additional opportunity to apply what you have learned by providing feedback to peers, and when properly done, allows for you to receive valuable feedback from peers); however, there is no quality control on peer graders. For whatever reason, some do not read or follow grading criteria or instructions.

Throughout the four courses I have completed thus far in this certificate program, multiple times I have had situations where one grader entirely fails a project with zero feedback (or even says "great job!"), while another grader gives 100%. If for whatever reason, one of the two graders is unable to access the document, they give a failing grade rather than flagging the document as unaccessible, as instructed.

All this results in needing to resubmit the VERY SAME document(s) while I cross my fingers and hope that someone who can follow the grading criteria and instructions is selected to grade my project.

An audit function that allows for the flagging of graders who either do not follow the clear insturctions or do not follow the grading criteria would be helpful (attention to detail is, after all, extremely important for effective project management).

Please do not interpret this comment as a lack of receptivity to feedback. If actionable (or any) feedback had been provided regarding how work could be improved, that would be great. This has not been the case.
