Dear Elementary Latinists,
This post serves as the official announcement that your first round of Peer Review is due Sunday, September 27, by noon (EST).
The link to the Peer Review Form has been sent to your Skidmore email address. The form will be live for two days before closing noon on Sunday.
Below are the guidelines for filling in the form. Please note the benefits and the penalties.
Each team member will in an anonymous online form for each of her or his teammates. (You are required to enter your username to access the form, but peers will NEVER see your name.)
The form asks the reviewer to rate a peer on aspects of their participation, and the result is an overall rating of 0% to 100% for the review period. These ratings, when aggregated, determine the number of peer review points teammates receive.
EXAMPLE. Say it’s possible to earn 50 review points for the current review period, and that a peer gives a team member receives an overall 85% rating. The team member therefore earns 43 review points (85% of 50).
The review form also calls for written feedback. Thoughtful comments from you to your peers will earn you additional review points.
IMPORTANT. Failure to submit any review form will result in the loss of ALL peer review points for that review period.
I will aggregate the rankings and shares all results (again, anonymized) with each team. I will also respond to queries from individual team members and, if necessary, help mediate and resolve any disputes.
Finally, please note these technical points:
- Keep track of which peers you have reviewed (though the form will help you a little).
- This work is probably better done on a laptop than a phone, due to the formatting.
- Please be sure your answers line up with your intentions. There’s always one student who means “ALWAYS” but enters “NEVER” instead.
- You will receive a copy of your review by email. The sender will be “Do not reply@skidmore.reclaimhosting.com” — a spammy-looking address, so be sure to monitor your junk email folder.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
DC
