Identifying free riders
It's important to avoid problems of unequal involvement in group work, and to personalize the notes on deliverables. ChallengeMe facilitates this type of activity.
"Students appreciate receiving feedback from their peers on their areas for improvement and their strengths."

How does it work?
This type of assessment is based on group work. The criteria are predefined to make it easy to identify students who are relying on others. Unlike job evaluations, participants are not asked to assess deliverables, but rather the members of their group with whom they have collaborated, based on behavioral criteria.

This may seem surprising, but it's actually the opposite. Students ask for this kind of feedback. They have the opportunity to give their opinion, according to defined criteria, on what has or hasn't worked within the group.
Anything goes! Some teachers opt for bonus/malus systems, others prefer weighting, or award a mark composed of 50% group mark and 50% individual activity. This varies according to the objectives pursued.
Indeed, our coaches are available to offer you a variety of content such as courses, presentations, videos, tutorials and more. Don't hesitate to call on them!
Absolutely, it's highly recommended. It gives students the opportunity to receive feedback on their commitment, as well as on the skills they will apply in the professional world. It helps them realize the importance of teamwork.
