When Teams Aren’t Fair - Empowering Student Peer Evaluation

Student team projects are popular in education. They encourage students to become experts on a topic and allow for larger assignments since group members will collaborate together as a team. Instructors often ask if there is a way for students to provide feedback about their team members. This past year, some of Drexel’s LeBow College of Business instructors used a tool called “Teammates” which greatly enhanced the peer evaluation process. In fact, results showed that students provided more qualitative feedback on themselves and their team members than with previous methods, and set up took just a few minutes.

Join the LeBow Instructional Technologies Team for this workshop, which will review the various challenges of peer evaluation and see a demo of Teammates. The tool is free, does not require students to create accounts, and provides useful ratings data which can then be used to give each student an individual score.

Lunch will be available to those who register by 10:00 AM on Friday, May 15.

Who should attend: LeBow College of Business full-time/part-time/adjunct faculty or teaching PhD candidates. LCB staff who are teaching or who directly support faculty are also welcome.
