Hi We done some research on this and found that students were more comfortable giving low scores in a Rubric Based Evaluation....than in a "split the money" evaluation When a student gets asked how many team meeting did they attend 0 1-2 3--4 4-5 All Hard to lie here if the measures are somewhat quantitative Jim ________________________________ From: Team-Based Learning [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 1:41 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: peer evaluations question I teach Early Childhood Development courses as an adjunct at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston, MA. I used TBL for the first time last semester. It went well except that the students did not like the peer evaluation process. They did not want to rate their teammates lower than 9, arguing that everybody on the team was great but that some were even better. Do others use the peer eval piece and has anyone run into this? How is it working?
