A similar thing is happening in one of my courses. I'm not using a multiplier system: my students are just assigning each other participation grades that count as 5% of the course total.

I've just announced the following policy: the decision of which students get which grades is still completely up to them, but I'm not going to waste the time of students by making them evaluate or read the evaluations of people who have failed to attend a very low threshold of days -- 50%. If someone has missed half or more of the days of class, that student just gets a zero for that portion, period, and nobody evaluates or is evaluated by that student.

 For each
 student in a team I average all of the points they have
 received and divide it by the largest average score for that
 group. So whoever got the highest score for the group has a
 factor of 1 and others will receive some lower value. I
 multiply the factor by the grade for the team assignment. So
 at least one student gets 100% of the score for the team
 assignment and others get less. If a student received zero
 for their evaluations they would get zero of the team’s
 score.

 Hi all,
 I'm looking
 for some advice about how to address an issue with a peer
 evaluation. In my course, we have 7 people per group. I use
 their peer evaluations as a multiplier on the team-based
 component of their grade. Specifically, I give them 600
 points that they can distribute to their 6 group members
 (they give themselves a 0, which is omitted from the
 calculation). This way, if they want to give someone credit
 for being a great team member, they have to take points away
 from at least one person in the group. I then average these
 points to determine what their multipliers will be.
 Here's a link to a blank version of the survey (created
 for a group of 8 members) so that you can more easily
 understand what I mean: https://mnsumankatopsych.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_brTC64jV7hommgZ (feel
 free to fill it out and click through, it won't hurt
 anything).
 The issue is that
 I have one student who has not come to class after the first
 day. We've had multiple conversations about it, but it
 is clear at this point she is not going to come to class,
 and won't drop the course. However, as you can imagine,
 this has caused a problem with the multiplier. Her group
 mates have reasonably given her a zero on her peer
 evaluation, which means they have an extra 100 points to
 distribute to other members, which results in some people
 getting 125% on their team grade. This is clearly not in
 the spirit of the evaluation, and gives members of this
 group a huge advantage in their grade compared to other
 students in the course.
 I would love to
 just eliminate her from the evaluation, but I think I need
 to get student ratings on her just in case she files a grade
 appeal. However, I am thinking that maybe I will just have
 them rate her separately, so that they can give her a zero
 without ending up with a bunch of extra points to distribute
 to other group members. Anyone ever run into this problem?
 What did you do?
