deadline.Closing the Peer Evaluation LoopAfter each peer evaluation, the instructors analyze the ratings to assign individual grades. The ratingscale for all six questions is 1-5, with 5 corresponding to the top option (i.e., best performance). Foreach student, we average the ratings of their teammates for the six categories which gives us an overallpeer evaluation rating. Note that a student’s self-ratings are excluded. The result is an overall ratingof 1-5, with a rating of 3 being average. A rating of 3 equates to 85 points or a B on our scale.In addition, the instructors read all the comments to ensure they are professional and appropriate.Comments are edited as necessary. Once this step is complete, the evaluations are released back tothe students
