peerNN (peer05, peer08, peer10, etc.)

The peer attitude survey is a simple test to help
each student know how others feel about their
work.  It works like the following example.

Say we have a team of five people, name Abe, Ben,
Cal, Don, and Ed.  Each of them takes out a sheet
of paper.  Each of them lists all five members of
the team.  Each of them crosses out his own name.

Abe will be left with a sheet listing Ben, Cal,
Don, and Ed.  Abe must now distribute 100 points
of reward among his team mates (but not himself).
Abe thinks that Cal has worked very hard, so Abe
gives Cal 40 points.  Abe feels that Ed has done
almost nothing in the past few weeks, so Abe gives
Ed 5 points.  Abe has 55 points left.  He decides
to divide them evenly between Ben and Don, and
gives each one 27 points.  He gives the extra
point to Cal, making 41 points.  The final result
is Ben=27, Cal=41, Don=27, Ed=5.  Abe thinks about
this and decides that it fairly represents their
participation (from Abe's point of view) over the
time being evaluated.

The instructor collects the papers from all five
students and adds the numbers together.  The final
result is: Abe=110, Ben=105, Cal=158, Don=103,
Ed=24.  Ed feels upset, but realizes that everyone
else agrees Ed is not doing his share of the work.
Ed resolves to work harder.  Or maybe Ed quits.
But at least Ed is not surprised at the end of the
semester.  He finds out early.  Cal, on the other
hand, learns that everyone agrees he is a great
contributor to the team.  Maybe Cal was worried,
and now he feels more confident.

It is each person's responsibility to maintain
their reputation in the team.  If other team
members feel someone is not performing (whether
they really are or not), this will negatively
affect their grade.  Your best strategy is to keep
the lines of communication open to avoid
surprises.
