Peer Ratings

Each Group member should be doing roughly the same amount of work. 5.25% of your final grade comes from just being a good team member.
Three Rounds of Peer Ratings

You will complete peer ratings three times during the project:

  1. Round 1 (Methods): Due Feb 22, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time — rate teammates on early collaboration
  2. Round 2 (Progress): Due Mar 29, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time — rate teammates on mid-project contributions
  3. Round 3 (Final): Due Apr 28, 11:59 PM US Eastern Time — rate teammates on overall project contributions

All three rounds count toward your Peer Ratings grade (5% each). Complete them on time!

What You'll Be Graded On

For each team member, you'll rate them on a scale of 1-5 (Poor to Excellent) in four areas:

Communication

How effectively did this team member communicate?

Collaboration

How well did this team member work with others?

Contribution

How much did this team member contribute to the project?

Reliability

How dependable was this team member?

Tips for Being a Great Team Member

  1. Be responsive when the group is trying to coordinate meetings.
  2. Be on time with your deliverables.
  3. Be an equal contributor.
  4. Communicate proactively if you're struggling or need help.
Keep in Mind

The semester and the Final Project can go by pretty quickly: communicate early and often.
