endemic, students simply did not feel comfortable publiclyconfronting teammates with poor ratings in the report, worrying about hard feelings andretribution from slighted teammates. Another drawback was the considerable effort required toproduce the report, coming precisely at the crux of team effort, where teams were struggling tofinish up projects at term’s end.3.2 Version 2: Anonymous Evaluation, Individual ReportsIn the next iteration of our system, the peer evaluations were made anonymous, and restricted tothe one-page questionnaire of ratings and comments; no Teamwork Report was required.Students were explicitly promised anonymity of peer evaluations in the course syllabus, and peerevaluations were emailed directly to the instructor by

. The mainpurpose of the lecture was to introduce key statistics concepts appropriate to the laboratoryexperiments. Initially, the coordination between lecture material and laboratory experiments wasweak due to the sequence by which student teams rotated through the experiments. Inevitably,some teams would conduct the experiments most suited for statistical applications before theappropriate material was covered in lecture. In addition, as is frequently the case in many typicalunit operations laboratories, obtaining a meaningful number of data points for statistical analysiswas and continues to be a problem. However, a few years of experience, input from students, andadjustment of the statistics topic sequence in the course syllabus has led to
