Group Member Evaluation
Empowering students with a critical and collaborative space
In this activity
- Student names are masked with fruit names when comments are released at a set deadline, encouraging candid feedback without fear of damaging relationships, addressing past issues where students hesitated to give direct input while complaining privately to lecturers.
- Feedback is structured around five categories—participation, contribution, communication, dependability, and teamwork—with ratings from 1 to 5 for self and peers, followed by optional comments.
- Students can reply to received comments, allowing them to explain their perspectives or clarify actions.
- This peer review contributes to the semester module/class's marks, with grades assigned based on completion and quality of participation, including submissions, feedback, replies, and reflections. Adjust this to fit your own course.
- A reflection step encourages students to consider how giving and receiving feedback influences their understanding and learning.
