Although we don't have concurrent courses, in our second year we have many short (2 week) courses. So, the peer evaluation is done formatively half way through the semester, then at the end for 'real.' The scores from the end of semester are factored into a total % for the semester, therefore affecting each student's cumulative score for the semester rather than each separate course. They remain with same teams for the whole year. Process repeated in the second semester.
