Teammate Evaluation - Feedback Fruits Grading Procedures

Instructor Information

Overview

This page is intended for courses that have group work and utilize a teammate evaluation procedure. For more details check out the page in the welcome module labeled "Group Work Process."

In order to allow students to evaluate their teammates EDGE utilizes the integrated teammate evaluation procedures called Feedback Fruits. The evaluation has already been set up and assigned to students. After students submit their group project, students will complete the Teammate Evaluation by evaluating themself as well as their teammates.

This page is intended for courses that have group work and utilize a teammate evaluation procedure.

Faculty and Teaching Assistants can download the results of the survey and assign students a score based on the outcome. The deductions have been established in a page in the course that outlines group procedures. A sample is listed below, but confirm on the Group Work Page that the deduction is accurate before applying any scores to students. Students receive anonymous feedback from their peers, though you can see the data and who gave students which score.

Accessing the Outcomes Report

Open the Teammate Evaluation Assignment. Even if the results say (for example) "4 of 47 students" have completed the assignment, that likely means most students have taken the survey, but have not reviewed the results. (As viewed in the sample data with an arrow)
Click on the icon circled to the left to view in full screen if you'd prefer.
Click on "Export Analytics" an excel download will begin. Open it and you can begin assessing student grades.

Analyzing Evaluation Analytics

Once you've opened the data there is a wealth of information. Two tabs provide the information you need to assess any necessary deductions.
- "Grades Per Student" tab located about two-thirds of the way to the end of the available tabs. This tab will showcase the score each student was awarded based on reviews. You can view this score in the "Overall Grade" column. You should note students who received below a score of 80 and follow the deduction table as you see appropriate. Instructions note that students may receive a deduction, applying that deduction is up to the teaching team.
- The "Reviews" tab will show you (required) comments that students make about their teammates. You can use this information to determine if students' behavior warrants a deduction.

Applying Deductions

It's fairly common for no students to receive a deduction for an assignment, but if deductions need to be applied, you may follow this (or a different pre-established) deduction plan.
Based on the table below, identify the percentage that needs to be deducted for student(s) in your course.
Enter grades as awarded for all members of all groups (including those who will get deductions).
To Apply Deductions:
Please refer to the table on the Group Work Process page (the one below is just an example) in the course for a detailed breakdown of the deductions.
- The deduction application must be done as follows:
  - Finalize the grading as usual. [Do not release grades!]
  - Break group associations through the settings by clicking "Assign Grades to Each Student Individually".
    - To change "Assign Grades to Each Student Individually" open the "edit" screen for the assignment by clicking "edit" in the top right. Select the assignment setting below group assignment options that gives you the opportunity to enter scores individually.
  - Manually apply deductions for specific students, including numeric deductions and a general assignment comment about the deduction.
  - Release the grades.
