Speaking of team evaluations . . .

How do most people handle them?  Do you provide feedback for all  
students or only those who ask for team comments?  Do you give hard  
copies or only report results orally?  Do you edit in any way (e.g.,  
obvious spelling errors, redact especially mean-spirited comments,  
etc.)?

Thanks.

Tim
