Member Evaluation Form

Small Group Communication (COMM 2060) Group Member Evaluation Form (40 Points)

Directions: Please award points (out of a maximum of 10 points) to each of your group members, including yourself, based on the following criteria. Please note that you must cover each of the 8 areas listed below for ALL individual group members. Your evaluation should include specific examples and explanation for what each of your fellow group members completed throughout the term and though each group member may not have many aspects of each area, this should be noted as such. Be honest as I am the only one viewing this assignment and justification for the score you provide is critical.
