MAILING LISTS

There was a great webinar in the iamse series this morning on peer eval in tbl



Ruth Levine and Paul Koles talked about a variety of approaches and strategies



One of the many great points was about the open end/qualitative comments...they use "I appreciate you do this" and "request that you do this". 



I really like this idea...one thing to keep doing and one thing to work on

 

They share the comments back to the students...and Paul kolas adds marking the comments other students give



I.e. Your peer eval score comes from your peers and the quality of the feedback you have given

This is in response to recent concerns that a student was consistently being marked down by another student in their team for being of a different ethnicity/ESOL student. Has anyone else had to deal with racism in their teams? If so, how did you resolve it??

In the past, I’ve collected peer evaluations at the end of the term using survey items rated on a 1-to-7 scale and I haven’t shared peer evaluations with students (unless they asked about their final grade). This semester, I’m experimenting with collecting open-ended comments after each team activity and sharing those formative comments with students. Its too early in the semester to determine the effect of the new peer evaluation procedure but the change got me wondering about the variety of peer evaluation procedures used by other TBL folks.
