Spring 1997
Although I am ultimately responsible for grades in this class, because this is a group
project, I will ask you to reflect on the processes that went on in your own group. Each of you
will be asked to do an assessment of one another, of the web page itself, and of the work of your
group as a whole.
CRITERIA FOR THE PROJECT:
* How good is the information? Does the web page provide you with accurate details about the topic?
* How useful is the discussion? Does the web page show how this discussion illuminates the play?
* How attractive and useful are any illustrations?
* How well-written is the web page?
* How strong and useful are the bibliography and links to other pages?
You might want to consult the links to existing pages that discuss "Questions to Consider" when
constructing a web page and "How to Judge the Scholarship of Web Pages."
As I said, I will assign final grades for the project, balancing my assessment of the work of the
whole against individuals' contributions to the whole work. I will give you a written report. As
part of the evaluation process, however, I would like to consult your judgment about your own
work and your colleagues' interaction. These are confidential and advisory. In many ways they
will function as faculty's reviews of one another's work. Remember, I am aware that this is a new
format of writing and involved many of you in new activities and skills. Be generous and clear-minded. With that in mind, would you take this form and answer the following questions, then
give it back to me.
1. In a short paragraph, describe the way in which your group divided up the parts of your
project and what your role in the project was. What was your responsibility?
2. In a short paragraph, describe your contribution to the group project. Describe the greatest
strength and weakness of your contribution to the entire work.
3. In a short paragraph, identify who, in your opinion, was the most essential person to your
project. Describe their contribution in concrete terms.
4. In one final paragraph, offer me a concrete assessment of the contributions of the other group
members.
