2. Give each of your students feedback on which criteria they have done well and which criteria that they need to improve upon. 3. Assign a grade to each student based on their performance so far. Remember, this first grade does not count and is not averaged with the second TA evaluation grade. This grade gives the student a chance to improve their performance if necessary. Use the grading scale (H, H-, P+, P, P-, L) or (A, A-, B+,B, B-, C+, C etc). 4. Upload a confidential written report to each student on the student's personal web space.

Twice during the semester, you will be asked to critique the performance of other members of his/her team. (Check Schedule for dates). This critique will be both qualitative and quantitative and will be based on written criteria (provided to all students) related to the performance and contribution of individuals as team members. The peer evaluations from other members of the team will be summarized by the TA and given to each student in confidence. These evaluations will be made twice in order to let the student know how he/she is functioning as a team member and to allow opportunity for growth as a member of a professional team. The purposes of the peer evaluations are: (1) To provide you with a way to express your opinion about how other students in your team are performing, and (2) To provide you with feedback about your own performance in the group. The faculty and TAs feel that this is an important component of the class because you can provide the most accurate assessment of your team members' contributions to the group effort. Also, peer evaluation is an important function that you will be required to perform throughout your professional careers. In the first and second peer evaluations, you will be asked to provide qualitative feedback about team members' performance in the exercises done so far. In the second evaluation, you will also be using a grade scale to evaluate your team members. Assign each team member an overall grade based on the criteria provided. Please remember that these peer evaluations are provided to you as a way to improve, your contribution to your team. You will be doing two peer evaluations during the semester, allowing you to improve your performance if necessary. Instructions (For Students):

Internet Discussion ForumsIn addition to the case study questions described above each module
there will have a weekly internet discussion forum question. Typically a forum will last
for 7 days. (See Schedule for opening and closing dates for each forum). All
students are also required to participate in their group's discussion
forum. Students are encouraged to draw upon their own life and work experiences when
posting replies to the discussion forum. Students are also encouraged to use the library
and the resources of the Internet in providing links to subject matter related to the
topic of each discussion forum. When it is your turn to be Discussion Forum Leader, you are expected to: 1. Start the forum discussion. Read the discussion forum question for the Module. It can be found linked on each module's path. Your TA will post the weekly forum question to your group's discussion forum. Add your comments or basis for the need for discussion. The more you can focus the issue for discussion, the better. 2. Read all comments at least once a day and moderate the discussion by summarizing and tying together various positions and identifying various distinctly different positions. After several days of discussion, help the group reach consensus if possible. 3. Post any final comments after seeing the Suggested Answer which will be posted by your TA at the end of the discussion forum period.
The Teaching Assistant will: 1. Post the Discussion forum question for the session and act as a consult to the Forum Leader in starting the Discussion Forum. 2. Read all comments in the Discussion Forum at least once a day, refocusing the discussion as needed, pointing out facts and issues the group may not be considering, or suggesting the group consider additional points. 3. Help group members distinguish facts from assumptions, opinion, and values statements. 4. Provide additional suggestions and guidance as needed. 5. Contact the Instructor with problems and concerns. 6. Keep track of all postings.
