Individuals rate their team members during the peer evaluation. But I take the average for every member and place it on a scale. with a 10 translating into a B-, and Higher scores sometimes translating into a 100% + extra credit.
I also have leaders vocally recognize their top achievers for every major project (composed of 4-5 mini projects) at their culminating poster session , this translates into 1 homework pass.
Another thing I do is I have a jar set out for every class. Students are encouraged to recognize peers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in some way by writing their name & what they did on a slip of paper and putting it in the jar. All names are read out loud at the end of the week.
