Evaluating Group Maintenance
I will observe team-related activities of members in class during the semester. You will
confidentially rate the contribution of the other members ofyour group at the end of the semester
on a Peer Evaluation Form. You will assign, on average, ten points to other members of your
group. However, you can not assign a score of' 10' to every other member. You must assign at
least one score of ' 11 'or higher to someone and, hence, at least one score of '9' or lower to
someone else. In assigning points, consider the attendance, preparation, degree of correct
answers, willingness to help others, respect for other's ways of deriving answers, and flexibility
in resolving differences. You will be asked to justify the reasons for your highest and lowest
scores. Your group maintenance score will be based primarily on the average of the points that
you receive from the other members of your group but also the justifications that your teammates
gave for their points and my own assessment of your in-class contribution to the group.
Appeals
You may appeal the scoring of homework or an examination within one class period after the
material is returned to you. I will review the entire document in question and make any
appropriate adjustments. Use the 'Readiness Assessment: Appeals Instruction' to appeal
disagreements that you have on my scoring of group's readiness assessment.
Final Grades
The course grading scale is A for 90-100%, B for 80-89%, C for 70-79%, D 60-69%, and F for
