Getting Started with Team Member Evaluation

Peerceptiv Team Member Evaluation allows you to rate your team members' contribution to the group according to the areas identified by your instructor. Team Member Evaluation is anonymous; your group members will see the comments that you leave, but they will not know which group member wrote them.

If you have never used Peerceptiv before, you will first need to log into Peerceptiv and create an account. After creating an account or if you already have one, you can continue with the directions below.

• If you are using Team Member Evaluation apart from a peer-reviewed assignment, continue reading.
• If you are using Team Member Evaluation as part of a peer-reviewed assignment, first follow these directions and then read below to complete the Team Member Evaluation task.

Completing a Team Member Evaluation

To use Team Member Evaluation, click into your course and then click on the assignment link. That will bring you to the screen below:

 

Next, click on Group Members to see if you are already part of a group. If you have already been assigned to a group and all of the group members are correctly listed on the page, you do not need to do anything additional.

Join a Group

If you are not yet part of a group, you must join a group before you can complete the Team Member Evaluation. To join a group, add the email address(es) of all group members, separated by commas. Use the email addresses issued by your school/organization. Then, click Add a Group Member. You will automatically be added to that group.

 

Once your group is complete, click on the course assignments page at the top right corner. (Note that the link will be the course name + Assignments.)

Launch Team Evaluation

After you are part of a group, you are ready to click Launch Team Evaluation. Go back to that assignment on the assignment page and click View Assignment. Then, Launch Team Evaluation.

The following screen outlines the criteria that you will be using to evaluate your team members. Click Go To Evaluation to begin.

There, you will see the characteristics that your instructor wants you to assess. Read the first characteristic and rate your team members according to those criteria. Give each member a score based on how fully they meet the description listed at the top of the page, with a score of 5 being high and a score of 1 being low. Scroll down the page until you have rated all of the group members in all of the criteria.

 

Once you have provided all of  the numeric ratings, click Next to write comments about how each group member met that criteria. When you provide feedback, remember that the best feedback is specific and constructive. Praise a team member for their good contributions. Offer specific suggestions for ways they can improve. You can read Be a Helpful Reviewer for other suggestions about being a good reviewer.

Understanding Your Team Member Evaluation Results

After the review period is over, you can see your results by going to that assignment, clicking View Assignment, and then Launch Team Eval. That will take you to your average ratings for each criteria. Click View Comments to see any comments about your participation in the team.

To go back to the assignment page, click on the upper-right Peerceptiv Links drop-down menu and then Home.

Team Member Evaluation ratings do not affect your assignment grade. Your task grade includes the Team Member Evaluation. This means that if you completed the Team Member Evaluation for every team member before the deadline, you will receive full credit for this task.

If you are completing a team member evaluation as the last step of a group assignment, rating all members before the end of the review period will count as 1/4 of the task grade (submitting a document, reviewing documents, back-evaluating reviews, and completing the Team Member Evaluation).
