We do something very similar at midsemester and at end of semester. I had a programming student write a quick program that allows the students to log on, where a window asks them to rate their team member (or company member) and requires comments associated with ratings. When they've had a few days to get online and complete their feedback, I go into the system and turn off the rating program and turn on the feedback portion. During this time, a student can log on and see their ratings and the comments associated with those ratings. The ratings and comments are anonymous, unless the rater put their name directly into the comments. Sometimes the students WANT other to know that they are giving the feedback.

That's just about exactly what I do.
Takes me about 2.5 hours to do for a class of 70. I have a system of various windows open on my computer simultaneously (Word and Blackboard) that works for me.

Subject: Re: evaluations
I've had luck doing a midsemester eval where students rated each team
member on a likert like scale for some criteria we developed and then they
were asked to provide a) strengths/contributions of the member and b)
areas they could improve on. We then typed up the results so each person
got individual feedback that was semi-private (they knew what their team
was saying, but couldn't figure it out from handwriting). I did it again
at the end of the term and a lot of teams did improve b/c of the feedback
(the quiet spoke up more, the loud quieted down and listened more). But
that was with 2 instructors and 4 teams of 6-7. It would be doable if you
have a smaller class, TAs OR some time to commit to it. I decided not to
use that format for my 110 enrollments this semester.
