Peer Evaluations

Peer evaluations are a method of creating accountability within a group. 

After each project presentation, each member of the group will evaluate each other member of their group.  They will submit this evaluation to the professor on the day of the presentation, and these scores will be averaged for every group member and computed as one third of the total grade.

Here is how it works.  You will use a standard sized piece of binder paper and write three (3) things on it:

(1) the names of each other group member (not your own, this is a peer evaluation, rather than a self evaluation);

(2) a score next to each name, from 1 to 10 (ten being best), based on their performance throughout the group project (from the very start through the final presentation); and

(3) next to each score put a rationale statement, or reason, for the score that you gave them.  This reason should be 1 to 2 sentences long, and descriptive enough to offer the real evidence for your evaluation of that person.

Name of Group Member:  Score: Reason for the score (rationale statement):
 1.  John # (Full sentence description of the reasons for giving that person the score that you did.)
 2.  Jerusha # (same as above)
 3.  Jimmy # (same as above)

Format:  The best format for this is typed, single-spaced, on one sheet of paper.

Audience Evaluations

These evaluations are for audience members to use when watching a group conduct its project presentation.  It is fairly simple and contains three basic areas:

1.  What went well?  What were their strengths?

2.  What did you like about their presentation aids?

3.  What suggestions do you have for improvement?  If they could do it over again, what might they improve?
