In this article we will walk you through how to use Group Member Evaluation from the perspective of a teacher.

If you’d like more information on how this tool works, you can check out the overview article here:

At the top of the assignment, you will see the Overall student progress overview. Click on statistics per active student to see individual students' progress. Here you can see if students have read the instructions, given feedback, the total number of review comments, and finally, if students have read the feedback they received.

Click on the headers in each column to change the order (ascending or descending) in which students are displayed.

The check marks under read instructions mean that that student has finished the step. The light purple dot means the student has not read the instructions yet. The red dot means the student has missed the deadline for handing in.

Under the give feedback header, you see a rod for each review that a student needs to complete. In the example in the screenshot, students need to complete two reviews. A dark purple rod stands for a finished review.

A light purple rod means a peer has been assigned for the student to evaluate, but the evaluation is not yet complete.

A white rod means the student has not yet been assigned a student to evaluate, click here for an explanation on how peers are assigned.

It is also possible to export all the student data into an excel file. This file contains information concerning review ratings, review comments and grading. You can download this export by clicking on the 'export analytics' button in the overall student progress window.

Here you can see the instructions written when setting up the assignment. These can be changed by clicking on ‘Edit’ on the top right corner of the screen.

In this step, you can access an overview of all provided feedback. The reviews in this step display the feedback provided by the student.

Students who have begun giving feedback to their peer will reflected in this step. Clicking on the ‘headers’ will change the order (ascending or descending) in which the students are shown.

'Show Allocations' displays the work assigned to the student for review.

'Show Criteria' presents a heatmap displaying the assessments given by the students.

'Full screen' offers a wider display for easier view. You may also leverage the ‘Search’ capabilities to search for individual students.

The reviews in this step display the feedback provided by the student. 'View Reviews' navigates you to the given reviews playlist, where you can start viewing individual review packets. You may also navigate to a specific student review by hovering over the student’s name in the table below.

'Show feedback given to' filter defaults to 'All Reviewers'. This provides a consolidated view of all feedback given by Saul Goodman, enabling you to review all his feedback swiftly without navigating multiple sections.

When navigating the Feedback section of the 'All Reviewers' packet, you can hover over the ratings to view the two peers to whom the student assigned that rating. Additionally, 'New' buttons indicate unread comments.

You may use the ‘dropdown menu’ to filter by individual packets. For instance, if you click on Hank Schrader, you will see the review packet that Saul Goodman provided to Hank Schrader.

Click ‘Next’ to move on to the next student.

In this step, you can view an overview of all feedback received. The reviews in this step display the feedback received by the student.

Click the headers for the columns to reverse the order (ascending or descending) in which students are displayed.

Click on the column headings to reverse the order in which the students are shown (ascending or descending).

Click on the status chips 'Not started' or 'Completed' to view the list of students with those respective statuses.

The reviews in this step display the feedback provided by the student. Clicking on 'View Reviews' takes you to the workflow playlist, where you can start viewing student review packets. The reviews at this step show the feedback received by the student.

The 'Show feedback given by' filter defaults to 'All Reviewers'. This provides a consolidated view of all feedback received by a student, enabling you to review all his feedback swiftly without navigating multiple sections.

You may use the ‘dropdown menu’ to filter by individual review packets. For instance, if you click on Todd Alquist, you will see the review packet that Gus Fring received from Todd Alquist.

You may view ratings and comments view the review packet or the side bar. It is possible to respond to these comments or upvote them.

To add yourself as a reviewer while reviewing the feedback a student has received from their peer, simply click on the purple icon located at the bottom left of your screen.

Upon clicking the purple icon, you'll encounter an empty review packet, with your name automatically added to the reviewer filter. From there, you can proceed to provide your review. It's important to note that once you submit your review, you won't have the ability to retract it, so please review your feedback carefully before finalising.

In this step, you can view an overview of all student-written reflections.

Writing a reflection is a valuable step to conclude an assignment. For example, the student can write a reflection on how the entire process of providing feedback went. The teacher will see this reflection in an overview in step 4 (if the teacher has enabled this option in the settings).

Students can write their reflections after providing feedback to their peers, regardless of whether they have completed the "Received Review" step.

Here the teacher can see which groups and which specific students have made progress in completing their reflection. Only the groups whose students have made progress on this step will be shown as in the image below. If the teacher wants to read a specific student's reflection, the teacher clicks "view" next to the student's name to see their reflection.

Clicking the ‘View Reflections’ button will take you to the reflections playlist, allowing teachers to easily browse through the entire list of student-written reflections.

In this step, you have to access a comprehensive overview detailing the grades of each student within the system.

If the teacher has included grading in the settings, it will be visible after the last step. The image below shows what that will look like. By clicking on the arrow on the right or using the scroll bar at the bottom, the teacher can view the rest of the grade sections (from left to right). On the far right there is also an optional grade adjustment. This allows the teacher to add or subtract points for each student. Click on ‘Fullscreen’ to get a better view.

If anonymity is enabled, the students work under a pseudonym, but the teacher can always see the student name.
