GIM Experience Book
Assessment
Students received a grade assigned from the GIM tutor which considered their participation in their team’s progress. Moreover, a percentage of their final grade was the result of a peer-evaluation survey in which students assessed their teammates’ contribution to team deliverables. Each member assigned a mark from 1-10 (strongly disagree-strongly agree) with regards to the following four items:
- This team member took on a fair share of the overall workload.
- This team member delivered high quality contributions to the team.
- This team member interacted effectively with other members of the team.
- Working with this member of your team has been a beneficial learning experience.
With regards to team deliverables, professors from three separate academic departments, Economics, People Management and Social Sciences, were involved in the assessment process. The criteria that professors had in order to assign their grade is detailed below.
