The factors that I will consider as I read your submission – and weigh any participation grading adjustments
– include:
● Are your observations consistent with the feedback that I’ve received from the rest of your team?
● Is your feedback surprising to me? Does it align with any observations that I’ve made this term?
● Is your review based on unbiased observations – measurable behaviors?
o Does positive feedback detail extraordinary and high-value accomplishments?
o Does negative feedback detail missed meetings, lack of preparation, low levels of
engagement, and/or missed deadlines?
o Am I reading hollow praise – or a rant that I should just chalk up to personality conflicts?
● Have you been proactive in dealing with team problems as they arise?
o Perhaps you’ve stopped by to discuss options for dealing with a team problem. You’ve
flagged it as a potential issue, and have taken appropriate action, but after some serious
attempts at fixing things, the issue remains.
o Or is this the first time that I’m hearing about any team discord?
Some Additional Guidelines for Written Submissions:
Style & Content Always use professional, logical, clear and precise language. Avoid praising or
trashing people or companies with drama/hyperbole.
Layout For all submissions, use paragraph form with clear intros/theses and conclusions.
The use of bullets should be minimal – reserve bullets for executive summaries, or
the emphasis of key points within your plans.
For any multi-page assignments, it’s fine to have a section cross over to another
page. Just be sure to use section headings and subheadings to guide the reader
through the body of your submission.
All illustrations/diagrams should be featured in the appendices of your formal mini b-plans.
Format Page Numbers (Body): ## of (Total Pages).
Page Numbers (Plan Appendices): EA-1,2,3; IA-1,2,3; Recs-1,2,3; etc.
