Lindsay,
I've had 15+ years of experience with a parallel situation. It is called the Integrative Business Experience. In their junior year students are assigned to the same team for three required core courses (Management, Marketing and Information Systems) in which they are concurrently enrolled and a also practicum course in which 5 of the teams (30 or so students form a company and do a start-up business based on an actual bank loan of up to $5,000). Students have a number of graded assignments in each of the core courses and all three use a peer evaluation as a component of the course grade. Each instructor uses their own peer evaluation system and their own form. One interesting thing is that the peer evaluation scores are not always the same in all three courses. In some cases, and for a variety of reasons, students often end up being a much stronger contributor on one of the courses and the scores reflect the differences.

Hello all
I'm interested to know if anyone has an approach to the following problem. We have recently introduced TBL to multiple concurrent courses in our first year MD program (4 parallel courses). The students stay in the same teams for all 4 courses. It is not clear to me how best to use peer evaluation in this setting. I have trouble recommending that the peer grade be applied to the group work (gRats etc) in all 4 courses but cannot think of another solution that properly employs peer feedback. I can also not face the thought of creating 4 different team groupings, one for each course. Has anyone else solved this conundrum?
Thanks
Lindsay
