Assumptions
• Not concerned with team management issues or the team process itself
• Belief that at least some portion of each student’s grade is based on his or her contribution to the project
![Page 5: Evaluating Individuals in Team Projects Dawn Wilkins & Pam Lawhead Computer & Information Science The University of Mississippi 992ofe06 비서교육 전공 5 학기 이](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100509/56649f0c5503460f94c1f425/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Challenges in Evaluating Individuals
• Must gather helpful, valid and comprehensive data
• Must ensure that a student cannot sabotage the grade of another student based on dislike rather than the student’s work on the project

Survey Techniques
• Scales
• Ranking
• Matching
• Sentence completion, Fill-in, Listing
• Short Answer
• Journal writing and Essay
![Page 12: Evaluating Individuals in Team Projects Dawn Wilkins & Pam Lawhead Computer & Information Science The University of Mississippi 992ofe06 비서교육 전공 5 학기 이](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100509/56649f0c5503460f94c1f425/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Scales• Likert-style scales are easy to use, simple
and fast, but inflexible• Can select categories from previous tables• Possible scales (definitions helpful):
– Excellent, Very Good, Acceptable, Low, Poor– Strongly agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly
Disagree
![Page 13: Evaluating Individuals in Team Projects Dawn Wilkins & Pam Lawhead Computer & Information Science The University of Mississippi 992ofe06 비서교육 전공 5 학기 이](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100509/56649f0c5503460f94c1f425/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ranking• Simple and effective• Helpful when evaluator is hesitant to use
words with negative connotation (uncooperative, irresponsible)
• Examples– Divide up $1000 among team members– Which two members of your team were best at
making decisions? Best writers? Who would you go to for technical advice?
![Page 14: Evaluating Individuals in Team Projects Dawn Wilkins & Pam Lawhead Computer & Information Science The University of Mississippi 992ofe06 비서교육 전공 5 학기 이](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100509/56649f0c5503460f94c1f425/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Matching• Good when evaluators are not creative at
expressing ideas, or when evaluation time is short
• Examples– Using Evaluation Terms provided, indicate 3
strengths and 3 weaknesses for each team member
– Match teammates to job titles (Director, Doer, Watcher, Judge, Mediator, etc …)
![Page 15: Evaluating Individuals in Team Projects Dawn Wilkins & Pam Lawhead Computer & Information Science The University of Mississippi 992ofe06 비서교육 전공 5 학기 이](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100509/56649f0c5503460f94c1f425/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sentence completion &Fill-in & Listing
• Requires more effort on the part of the evaluator than previous
• Doesn’t “put words in mouth” of evaluator
• Examples– The three most important contributions of
<teammember> are ___, ___ and ___.– The strengths of <teammember> are: ____
![Page 16: Evaluating Individuals in Team Projects Dawn Wilkins & Pam Lawhead Computer & Information Science The University of Mississippi 992ofe06 비서교육 전공 5 학기 이](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022100509/56649f0c5503460f94c1f425/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Short Answer• Open-ended and flexible, but requires
some thought from evaluator
• Examples:– The five best things this team did were ...– The greatest obstacle overcome by this group
was ...– In the future, who in your group would you like
to work with again? Why? Who would you NOT like to work with again? Why?

Journal writing & Essays
• Journal writing allows students to showcase successes and think through problems
• Helps students recall process for evaluation (possibly a postmortem team evaluation)
• Most importantly, gives them practice writing
