After students complete their evaluations, instructorsare able to view the results through the system’s reports and can formulate an individual gradefor each student. More importantly, instructors also have the ability to send the students feedbackand automatically include anonymous reviews from other team members. The reports show theinstructor where the students’ skills may be lacking. The preliminary results from a pilot studyare discussed.Spring 2015 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, April 10-11, 2015 Villanova UniversityI.
