Attached is a rubric that I have used and received favorable results.  The rubric portion is adapted from a peer evaluation form I saw published in the Journal of Management Education last Spring.  I have the students complete the peer evaluation mid-way through the semester, and I summarize the results for informational purposes only.  This interim evaluation serves as a check-point along the way for individual students to make adjustments in performance as needed.  The ratings don’t actually “count” for the interim evaluation, only the final evaluation at the end of the semester.  Let me know if you have additional question about how I administer the evaluation and summarize the results.

Thanks Jim. Is there a Rubric Based Evalulation available? Or should I design my own?

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
