Overview

For many courses that require a group project or presentation, peer evaluations are a key consideration during the grading process. When students have the chance to give candid feedback about team dynamics and peer performance, instructors gain a more nuanced understanding of each team member’s contribution. However, coordinating a peer evaluation process can be tedious, and capturing meaningful feedback can prove difficult.

TEAMMATES is a free, online feedback platform that simplifies the process of peer evaluation. With TEAMMATES, instructors can create and share peer evaluation questions, and then easily record and review student responses. TEAMMATES offers a variety of feedback paths, allowing students to evaluate other teams, their own teammates, or themselves. Instructors can also choose from a range of visibility controls, which determine whether the responses for each evaluation question will be visible to students, made anonymous, or hidden from student view.
