Team-based asynchronous critique of live presentations

A template for courses where teams present live in class and peers provide structured critique using a shared rubric. Remaining teams who did not critique live can participate asynchronously through FeedbackFruits, ensuring all students engage with the feedback process regardless of their role on the day.

Activity steps

Read instructions: Students read the activity instructions and familiarise themselves with the critique criteria and submission requirements.
Peer evaluation: As a team, students review the presenting teams' work and submit a critique using the provided criteria, assigning a score and offering constructive comments. One team member submits on behalf of the group.
Received reviews: Presenting teams read the critiques submitted by their peers.
Grading: Students receive a grade based on the quality and completion of the critique their team submitted.

Empowering students with a critical and collaborative space

In this activity

This activity is designed for face-to-face courses where teams present live in class — some teams provide a live critique during the session, while remaining teams participate asynchronously through FeedbackFruits, ensuring all teams engage with the feedback process.
Both the students who evaluate and the students who are evaluated are organised as groups, meaning teams critique other teams and receive critique as a team.
One team member submits the critique on behalf of the entire group, though it is expected that all team members contribute to the feedback together.
The rubric is structured around presentation content, delivery, and overall impression of the case presentation.
The activity provides an opportunity for teams to demonstrate their own understanding of the case that was presented, aligning with the broader assignment objective of identifying and analysing the facts and applicable principles.
Reviewer anonymity is enabled, so presenting teams can see the feedback they received without knowing which team submitted it.
Teams who provided a live critique in class do not participate in the FeedbackFruits activity — only teams critiquing asynchronously are allocated in the tool.
