What is the quality of the evaluations of team members of each other?
 
Won't they give everyone the same grade or over-rate their own performance?
Experience indicates that both of these outcomes occur frequently in the first or second cycle of assessment; however, faced with (often unanimous) contrary feedback from their teammates, most students come to a more consistent and reasonable assessment in subsequent cycles. Research also indicates that peer assessment data can be effectively used in assigning individual grades.[1,2]
One faculty member reported that the slacker students almost always report themselves as the weakest on the team&the difference is whether they contributed 95% (their report) or 50%75% (the range assigned by their teammates).
