I permit teams to give everyone the same mark if they wish. This has happened a couple of times in the past but not very often. I have found students to be pretty responsible about giving more/less marks to their peers when warranted. The couple of times when everyone received 100% on the team for participation, I had to agree with them - those couple of teams really did seem to be well integrated with different members taking on leadership roles at different times.<div>
<br></div><div>The reason this works in my peer evaluation system is that they do not get extra marks. The peer evaluation is a multiplier that I apply to their team-earned marks. So if they all get 100% that simply means that they all get 100% of the marks awarded to them for their tRATs and Apps. If someone gets 80% or 120% on their peer evaluation they then are awarded 80% or 120% of their team earned marks. What keeps it in check from everyone receiving more than 100% is that I only provide them with sufficient marks to award everyone in their group 100%. So if someone earns more than 100, that means someone else needs to be awarded less than 100.</div>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">I administered peer evaluations mid-term, and reminded them they were not to give everyone on their team the exact same number of points, because not everyone does equal work, yada-yada-yada.
 However, I have had several teams try to &quot;outsmart&quot; the system by agreeing among themselves who will get a 9 or 11 from which team member, in essence making it so that everyone ultimately ends up with 40/40 points. I did have them do them in class, as I hadn&#39;t
 had time to put them on-line. Not sure if it would have made a difference.  Suggestions??
