Compared to other web e-learning platforms such as Moodle or Blackboard, this free to use system has a relatively limited scope and it allows in particular to upload student assignments and to provide feedback from peers. The authors used the Aropä peer-review system for the first time in the academic year 2016/2017. The aim of this article is to critically analyse the system and to provide experience and feedback on its use during the university course Ethics, Corruption and Transparency. The course has been running for two years at the Faculty of National Economy, University of Economics in Bratislava. The article deals with some practical issues faced by teachers who employ e-learning and peer-review platforms. Among the problems that the authors have experienced and successfully dealt with were: plagiarism, gaming and free-rider problem, student motivation, and contradictory feedback. Aropä proved to be an excellent peer-review system which supported development of critical thinking and reflective skills in students throughout the semester. Furthermore, the authors took a risk and introduced an Anglo-Saxon style into the teaching and assessment of the course in an environment which is still heavily conservative and traditionalist in terms of the teaching methods. Primarily, regular weekly essay writing and peer review through the Aropä system was introduced as one of the three modes of course assessment leading to the final course grade. Students had to write and assess their peers’ essays – both a task and a skill that the Slovak university educational system does not prepare for. The risk paid off and the quality of essays has steadily increased over the semester. Both the teacher and the students found the web-based peer-review system useful and effective in delivering the course outcomes – both in terms of knowledge and skills.
