c. Guidelines for Peers Evaluation
As you know, 3-5 points of each participant's grade in this course are based on
other team members' assessments on his/her contribution in preparing the
assignments. You may wish to consider the following in completing the
evaluation. (Note: All responses will be kept strictly confidential!):
• Was the team member willing to assume a fair share of the work for the
project?
• Did the team member contribute meaningfully to discussions and decisions?
• Did the team member work compatibly with other team members?
• Did the team member complete his/her roles in a responsible manner?
• Did the team member give his/her best effort to contribute a fair share?
• Did the team member go above and beyond the call of duty?
Please note that 5 to 10 minutes in-class comment and feedback to each team will
be given right after the two oral presentations. For the written assignment,
comments and feedback will be given in 4 weeks after the submission of the
report.
Note. Please arrange the meeting schedule with Aqi, our teaching assistant, given
