2018This semester has a total of 16 A’s for the group grade and 15 A’s for the individual grade,meaning that more students contributed equally in their groups. There are no grades lower than aC this semester, both with the group and individual grades. The reason for this improvement ingrade distribution from the Spring 2018 semester most likely relates to the lecture timing in thecurriculum as well as emphasizing the importance of the peer evaluation during the assignmentdate. These factors will be taken into consideration during the Spring 2019 analysis. Overall,more students received A’s and B’s in the Fall 2018 semester than the Spring 2018 semesterbecause of the improvement to the lecture content.The questionnaire is an ungraded assignment
