Those students who failed to submit their peerevaluations by the end of each quarter were given grades of “incomplete.” Once the lateevaluations were submitted, the incomplete was changed to a letter grade, with no penaltyimposed for late submission.When possible, each cohort took advantage of the work the preceding cohorts had done ondesigning and administering a peer evaluation instrument. Since the students in the first cohorthad no prior work on which to base the design of their instrument, they devoted time early in theyear to researching best practices in this area.
