In this in person course, teams present case studies live and another team critiques each presentation in class. That leaves most of the room watching rather than doing, and the teams who are not on stage have little reason to engage closely with the analysis being presented.

Max Chao extended the critique to every team. Once a team has presented its case and another team has given a live critique, all the remaining teams submit their own critique in FeedbackFruits after class.

Each team uses a shared rubric to assess the content of the presentation, the delivery and the overall impression, and submits one score with constructive comments on behalf of the whole group. Reviewer anonymity is switched on, so presenting teams receive honest feedback without knowing which team wrote it.

Writing the critique asks teams to show their own understanding of the case, which links directly to the main goal of the assignment: identifying the facts and analysing the principles that apply. Teams are graded on the quality and completion of their critique, so careful listening becomes part of the assessment.

With this design, every team plays an active role in every presentation, moving from watching to assessing, and presenting teams receive structured feedback from the whole class instead of from a single team.
