Peer CS414 Evaluation Guidelines (5% of the Final Grade) Deadline: May 8, 2009, 5pm Delivery Method: Email to [e-mail]
By May 8, each student submits to the Instructor, Klara Nahrstedt ([e-mail]) , his/her peer evaluation for each group member, including yourself , and for each MP. Please, fill out the following matrix for each MP: Group #:
Name Yourself Name of Member 1 Name of Member 2 Name of Member 3 Name of Member 4
MP1
MP2
MP3
MP4
Note: Your table should have only as many rows as there are members in the group. For example, if your group has only four members, you have to evaluate yourself and three other members. Submit this evaluation table only to the instructor. Each evaluation will be kept confidential, i.e., the individual score evaluation and the name of the evaluator will not be disclosed to anybody else, only the final score (value between 0 and 100) will be put in the Compass for final grade consideration. Each value in the peer evaluation table will have a score in range 0100 representing your evaluation of each member, i.e., how much you and your members contributed to each MP. Possible Case 1: if each member and you worked hard on the MPs, and you and your members did equal share of the MPs, your submitted evaluation table will look as follows:
Group #: K
Name Yourself Name of Member 1 Name of Member 2 Name of Member 3 Name of Member 4
MP1 100 100 100 100 100
MP2 100 100 100 100 100
MP3 100 100 100 100 100
MP4 100 100 100 100 100
Possible Case 2: If there was a member (Member 1) that did not contribute at all, or completed maybe some of his assigned task on the first two MPs, and you and your other members worked very hard, your submitted evaluation table should look as follows:
Group #: L
Name Yourself Name of Member 1 Name of Member 2 Name of Member 3 Name of Member 4
MP1 100 50 100 100 100
MP2 100 40 100 100 100
MP3 100 0 100 100 100
MP4 100 0 100 100 100
Possible Case 3: If you merged with another group, explain when you merged and evaluate separate yourself and your members in the two different groups. In this case, submit two separate tables. Before group merge you were part of Group `M':
Group #: M
Name Yourself Name of Member 1 Name of Member 2 Name of Member 3 Name of Member 4
MP1 100 30 0 100 0
MP2 100 50 0 100 0
MP3
MP4
After merge you joined Group `N': Group #:N
Name Yourself Name of Member 1 Name of Member 2 Name of Member 3 Name of Member 4
MP1
MP2
MP3 100 100 100 100 100
MP4 100 100 100 100 100
Possible Case 4: If you DO NOT SUBMIT your evaluation table, the instructor will assume the following default table: Group #:
Name Yourself Name of Member 1 Name of Member Name 2 of Member 3 Name of Member 4
MP1 0 100 100 100 100
MP2 0 100 100 100 100
MP3 0 100 100 100 100
MP4 0 100 100 100 100
This means that the instructor will put penalty only on the member who did not submit his/her score and reward the other members with maximum scores.
Calculation of the Final Peer Evaluation Score:
Let us assume that the Instructor received four tables from Group A that has four group members (X,Y,Z,W) as follows: Group #: A
Member X (myself)
MP1 100 100 50 0
MP2 100 100 100 0
MP3 100 100 50 0
MP4 100 100 0 0
Member Y Member Z Member W
Group #: A
Member Y (myself)
MP1 100 100 100 50
MP2 100 100 100 0
MP3 100 100 100 0
MP4 100 100 50 20
Member X Member Z Member W
Group #: A
Member Z (myself)
MP1 100 100 100 0
MP2 100 100 100 20
MP3 50 100 100 0
MP4 50 100 100 10
Member Y Member X Member W
Group #: A
Member W (myself)
MP1 20 100 100 100
MP2 20 100 100 100
MP3 20 100 100 100
MP4 20 100 50 100
Member Y Member Z Member X
Table 1: Example of submission from Group A from four members (X,Y,Z,W)
The evaluation calculation will take a weighted approach where
1. self evaluation weight in case of 4 group members will be 0.16 a. in case of group of 5 members, self evaluation weight will be 0.12 b. in case of group of 3 members, self evaluation weigh will be 0.24 2. other member weight in case of group 4 members will be 0.84 : 3 = 0.28. a. in case of group of 5 members, other member weight will be 0.88:4=0.22 b. in case of group of 3 members, other member weight will be 0.76:2=0.38 3. Each MP will have the same weight in the peer evaluation (0.25).
