Hi
We have actually had that kind of targeting in one course…one time….one team….BUT in probably 35 other courses with 20 to 35 teams per course…we had no similar problems
What that particular team discovered was that if they flame someone and give them zero…there are more points for the rest of them….we SOLVED it by using different peer evaluation grade weighting strategy….that got rid of the zero sum incentive to flame someone…..in that particular course we also changed it to….if you are going to give someone less than 7/10 we need to have a meeting with the instructor
Since our peer evaluation is only 5% of course grade….and we have had no other problems with around 1000 teams….I don't think there is a problem we need to manage

Subject: university policies and TBL
Hello list!
I have a question for those of you using TBL at the university level. At USM we use TBL in our coaching program in classes of approximately 35-40 students. Students in the program will have two to three classes that follow the TBL format during their program. Recently, other faculty in our department have questioned the use of the group evaluations as part of grade calculations, indicating they believe there is potential for members of a group to target one group member during the evaluation process. To my knowledge, our university does not have a policy on using group evaluations as part of the grade calculation but I am wondering if any of you have had/answered these same questions from colleagues. In our courses students are heavily involved in choosing the percent weight for group evaluations at the beginning of the semester, but I am interested to know if any of you use other methods to make the case for group evaluations in grading.
Thanks!
