Peer Evaluations for Project Teams

I’m working on the assignment of evaluation teams for the project (see http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~fkurfess/Courses/480/F11/Project/Project/Team-Evaluations.html).As a team, please look at the project list below or at http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~fkurfess/Courses/480/F11/Project/Project/Teams.html and select your top two choices of teams you'd like to evaluate. I will then assign the evaluation teams.

Project Milestone Feedback Templates

I’ve added the templates I'm using for the evaluation of the project milestones toh the Web page describing the project, http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~fkurfess/Courses/480/F11/Project/Project.html in the "Grading" part at the bottom of the page. 
For Milestone Week 4, the emphasis is on the aspects below

User Feedback
initial reactions, criticism, suggestions, etc. from users of the alpha prototype or to design sketches
possible design modifications, changes in implementation
System Design
overview of the functional parts of the system
block diagram, class hierarchy
Prototype and Implementation
restrictions in functionality
implementation language, development tools
instructions for installation and basic use
Evaluation Plan
description of evaluation methods
detailed instructions for performing the evaluation
explicit evaluation criteria (questions, metrics)

Consolidated Links to Feedback Forms

I’ve put all the links to the feedback forms for the end of the quarter on one Class Feedback page

Milestone Week 6 Feedback

The feedback for the Week 6 Milestone documents is now on the TRAC wikis for the respective projects. The scope, as with the previous ones, ranges from non-existent to excellent. You can revise your document, but you need to let me know if you’ve made changes relevant to this milestone, and would like a re-evaluation.

Milestone Week 4 Feedback

I’ve posted the feedback for the Week 4 Milestone documents on the TRAC wikis for the respective projects. As with the previous one, quite a few teams have significant gaps in their documentation, and received a low score. You can revise your document, but you need to let me know if you’ve made changes relevant to this milestone, and would like me to re-evaluate the document.

Feedback on Team Work

Around the midpoint of the quarter, I’d like to check if all the teams are doing well in terms of collaboration and work distribution. Please go to the Team Feedback form for this.
The mid-quarter version mostly helps me to determine if there are problems with teams. We’ll do another one at the end of the quarter, and the collective feedback from that one will also affect your team score, albeit to a moderate degree (most students usually get scores around 16-18 out of 20 for this).

Milestone Week 2 Feedback Posted

I’ve posted the feedback for the Week 2 Milestone documents on the TRAC wikis for the respective projects. I’ve added a PDF file as an attachment to the Milestone Week 2 document (or whichever document contains the respective information). Most teams should revise their documents.
Let me know if you want me to re-evaluate your document, and point out the main changes you’ve made. Of course we can also discuss this during the lab time.
