Spanish term or phrase: valoraciones de compañeros
I am not sure if it's the same as "peer assessments". This is part of a description of a course of food safety training for companies. For context, the phrase is found at the end of this text:

"En la última semana de estudio tendrás un nuevo ejercicio de reflexión. Recuerda subir las valoraciones de tus compañeros también."

English translation:peer evaluations/peer assessments
Explanation:
Because de is used and not por, I assume these are evaluations that the student makes of his peers and not vice versa.

I don't think that the singular form would be correct here because the passage is referring the the actual submissions and not the act of assessing or evaluating.

Example sentence(s):
  • Peer assessment refers to the practice of classmates evaluating each other's work.

Explanation:
You are right. This is the target term, in my opinion. It is also frequently used in the singular form, too.

Yes, Carole. I agree. I suggested the singular form understood in this context as the result of the act of assessing, and not as the act per se. Thanks for your comment.
