The peer technical review is a quality assurance activity that has been proven to be valuable in producing better quality software. With careful planning and instruction, a student peer review process can be designed and implemented so that students can learn about, and practice, this process within the classroom. This paper discusses the value of peer reviews in a classroom setting, the challenges to implementation, and how they can be integrated into a large-sized database design course.

Keywords: peer review, collaborative learning, software quality, database curriculum
