drawbacks, however.Common concerns are that team members will agree to give one another identically highratings, or give ratings based on gender or racial prejudice, or inflate their own ratings if self-ratings are collected. Some instructors also worry that many students will resent having theirgrades affected by their teammates’ ratings. The objective of this study was to examine thevalidity of these concerns.A peer rating system developed at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology was modifiedand used in two sophomore-level chemical engineering courses. The students completed theirhomework in instructor-formed teams in each course, and an average homework grade wascomputed for each team. At the end of each course the students confidentially

, comprising 4.15%of the university workforce [11]. In undergraduate engineering courses, TAs performed a widevariety of tasks including lecturing, leading lab sections, conducting review sessions, facilitatingdiscussions, holding office hours, and providing technological support. A study of biologycourses demonstrated that TAs provided a more personalized experience for students that actedas an essential and valuable complement to the more aloof, authoritative, and strict control thatundergraduates perceived of instructional faculty. A similar study of high-enrollment biologycourses at a research-intensive Australian university [12] found that consistent TA-studentpairings were positively associated with gains in student motivation and learning
