This study shows that successful students and groups differ from less-successful ones as to their feedback quality. This implies that when students engage in high-quality, elaborate and justified peer feedback processes more, they write argumentative essays of higher quality. Furthermore, the results show that the online argumentative peer feedback script used enhances the quality of written argumentative essays written by students.
