Peer Critique of Group Project One

Description 

Your peers will critique your group's document after your group's presentation.  I will collect the critiques.  Then, I will take the document home to evaluate it, and your group's grade will be the average score of all the critiques.  However, if the average is well above or below my score, I will raise or lower the grade accordingly, averaging your peers' mean score and my score. 

Procedure 

We will not meet at a Paris cafe where one can leave at any time; rather, we will meet at our allocated classroom where we will be working effectively together for the entire semester.  Therefore, courteous behavior will insure that the tone is hospitable for all people at all times.  Everyone needs to leave aggressive and sensitive egos at the door on the way into the classroom.  Do not speak while someone else is speaking.  Do not insist your opinion is the only correct one.  The presenters must remain silent and humble while the audience asks questions and/or articulates their evaluations.  Do not verbally attack another person.
