    • Evaluated based on the following criteria, on a scale Poor/Below Average/Average/Good/Excellent:

    Q [Optional] Any ANONYMOUS feedback you want to give the classmates you reviewed above?

    Q [Optional] Any CONFIDENTIAL comments about any team members?

    • -1 for each professional conduct criterion in which you score below average (based on the average of ratings received).
    • No penalty for scoring low on competency criteria.

    C Tutorial attendance/participation not too low

    Low attendance/participation can affect participation marks directly (i.e., attended fewer than 7) or indirectly (i.e., it might result in low peer evaluation ratings).

    In addition, you can receive bonus marks in the following ways. Bonus marks can be used to top up your participation marks but only if your marks from the above falls below 5.

    • [For lecture participation] Received at least half of the points for lecture activities in at least 10 lectures: 1 mark
      • In-lecture quizzes (using pollev.com): scoring is similar to the post-lecture quizzes
      • Other in-lecture activities: scoring is case-by-case basis
    • [For perfect peer ratings] Received good ratings for all 10 peer evaluations criteria: 1 mark
    • [For helping classmates] Was very helpful to classmates e.g., multiple helpful posts in forum: 1 mark

    Examples:

    • Alicia earned 1/2, 3/5, 2/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 5/5, 4/5, 5/5 in the first 12 weeks. As she received at least half of the points in 11 of the weeks, she gets 5 participation marks. Bonus marks are not applicable as she has full marks already.
    • Benjamin managed to get at least half of the participation points in 9 weeks only, which gives him 5-1 = 4 participation marks. But he participated in 10 lectures, and hence get a bonus mark to make it 5/5.
    • Chun Ming met the participation points bar in 8 weeks only, giving him 5-2 = 3 marks. He lost 2 more marks because he received multiple negative ratings for two criteria, giving him 1/5 participation marks.

    Your participation progress can be tracked in this page from week 3 onward. The page will be updated about once a week.
