INDIVIDUAL EFFORT RATING FOR GROUP MEMBERS
Adapted from Felder (1997)
Please read this entire form and then add your answers below.

Your Name__Melissa Campbell____________________________

1. Describe how the group prepared the guide and presentation. How was the work equally
distributed?
Group member 1 prepared the outline of the project and shared it with us to review. We were able to
communicate our ideas and made some changes before g roup member 1 turned it in. We decided to split the
work by days. We each had 3 days to prepare and then we shared the work with g roup member 1 who
formatted and organized the project before turning it in.

2. Please write the names of all of your group members below, INCLUDING YOURSELF, and rate the degree to
which each member fulfilled his/her responsibilities in completing the project as determined by the expectations
developed by the group. Sign your name at the bottom. Please be honest with your assessment. Justify the grade
that you give with comments. What was the level and nature of the students contributions? If you divided up the work,
what part of the work did the group member do? No comments to back up your grade will result in a 10% decrease
in your grade (you gave yourself) and a 10% increase in the grade you gave your group members. The possible ratings
are as follows; use a numerical grade, not a range:

Excellent Consistently went above and beyond, routinely went above

(90 100) and beyond the basic group responsibilities
Very good Consistently did what he/she was supposed to do, very well prepared
(80 89) and cooperative
Satisfactory Usually did what he/she was supposed to do, acceptably prepared and
(75 79) cooperative
Ordinary Often did what he/she was supposed to do, minimally prepared and
(70 74) cooperative
Marginal Sometimes failed to show up or complete assignments, rarely
(60 69) prepared
Deficient Often failed to show up or complete assignments, rarely prepared
(50 59)
Unsatisfactory Consistently failed to show up or complete assignments, unprepared
(40 49)
Superficial Practically no participation
(0 39)

These ratings should reflect each individual's level of participation and effort and sense of responsibility, not his or her
academic ability.

Name of group member _ Numerical Grade _ Comments

YOU _ ___75_____ My mom passed away the day
after we divided the work. Over the next few days, I was able to complete 2/3 of the work I was
assigned and thankfully group member 1 and group member 2 stepped up and helped finish the
rest. Neither of them hesitated to help me out and I will be forever grateful for that.

_Group member 1_________________________ ___100_____ Group member 1 went

above and beyond what she needed to do. She took charge of the project from the beginning
and did the final formatting and editing for us. She also finished the last part of my work that I
was unable to do.

_Group member 2_________________________ ___95_____ Group member 2 did

everything that was asked of her and didnt hesitate to take on extra work when I couldnt finish
my part. Group member 2 was proactive in our discussions and she was the first to submit ideas
for the project. Ultimately, it was group member 1 that finished my work but I know group
member 2 wouldve done it as well.
