Description
Companies who hire our alumni frequently list teamwork skills as one of the most important attributes in new hires. The literature on flipped classes also highlights how important teamwork is for students learning new material: an effective team can help every level of student understanding from the A+ student to the barely-passing student. Many different faculty have developed peer evaluation forms for students working on teams to fill out, but in large enrollments these peer evaluation forms take too much faculty time to process. This paper presents the clicker-based peer evaluation used in Statics at NC State which allows the instructor to capture data rating every student at least once a week on their participation and preparation. Also included is the Teaching Teamwork material used with the final team project.
