    Peer Evaluations: Teaching Students How to Give and Receive Feedback

    Whether we are using peer evaluations as part of Team-Based Learning or any group project, faculty cannot assume that students know how to effectively complete peer evaluations. In this episode, Tim Franz and Lauren Vicker describe the approach they developed to teach students how to give and receive feedback as a way to approach peer evaluations. Not only do they find this method helpful to understanding what is happening within the teams, but students learn a valuable skill that they may take to other classes, interviews, and future employment. Franz and Vicker also have a video that faculty can use on their own or to show students how to give and receive feedback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymyWx6P8WWQ
