PEER EVALUATION

PEER EVALUATION

1. After the completion of the group presentation, each group member needs to complete an anonymous peer evaluation for each group member. The guidelines of the evaluations are as follows:

a. The evaluations should thoroughly describe each group member’s performance in each of the five categories.

b. The descriptions need to be as specific as possible. The description should provide clear examples that are objective and not subjective.

c. The evaluations may be written on the evaluation sheet – legibly!

d. Assign the group member up to 5 points for each category for a possible total of 25 points. Since each group member will receive evaluations from all other group members, an average of all evaluations will be used to determine the peer evaluation grade, which is a maximum of 25 points.

e. Also complete the summary sheet so your instructor can be sure you receive points for your work.

f. You will also receive up to 25 points for a thorough completion of a peer evaluation for each group member.

2. This assignment also allows each group member control over how the presentation grade affects other members within the group since points may be deducted based on the group members’ peer evaluation scores. Individual students could receive up to a 20% deduction on the group presentation grade. Please review the guidelines for point allocation below:

25 – 20 peer evaluation points = 0% Deduction from presentation grade

19 – 15 peer evaluation points = 10% Deduction from presentation grade

14 – 0 peer evaluation points = 20% Deduction from presentation grade

It is very important to be as specific as possible when developing the evaluation and awarding points. The group evaluations are anonymous and only the instructor reviews the peer evaluation sheets completed by each group member.
