Numerous courses have a mechanism forstudents to rate the performance of their teammates. However, these assessments typically occurat the end of the course for rewarding strong team performance and penalizing underperformers.However, this reward/punishment approach is limited in its ability to improve team performanceduring the project, which should ultimately be our objective as educators.The approach presented here is
