Abstract: This paper investigates the implementation and impact of peer assessments in university courses, focusing on business students at a Hungarian business university. Data from undergraduate courses taught in Hungarian and English from 2023 to 2024 were analyzed to explore students’ engagement and perceptions of the peer evaluation process in presentation classes. Using numerical scales and qualitative feedback, the study aimed to understand the dynamics of co-evaluation, where students are both evaluators and recipients. The findings reveal that students value both giving and receiving feedback and recognize the importance of mastering performance appraisal techniques as essential soft skills. Integrating peer assessment throughout the university curriculum is suggested to enhance critical reflection and interpersonal skills, preparing students for the collaborative demands of the modern workplace.
