This sheet describes how the the Team Debates will be assessed. According to the class group grading policy, A group project grade will have 3 components.

1. Self Assessment 10%. See the Self and Peer Debate record sheet.
2. Peer Assessment 30%. See the Self and Peer Debate record sheet.
3. Instructor Assessment 60% See this document.

I will use the following items to come up with a grade.

• Debate performance.

  Time and points for each part of the debate are listed.

  1. (5 minutes. 0-50) ____ XXXX Affirmative position ____________________ presents constructive debate points.
  2. (2 minutes. 0-20) XXXX ____ Negative position _____________________ cross-examines affirmative points.
  3. (5 minutes. 0-50) XXXX ____ Negative position ______________________ presents constructive debate points.
  4. (2 minutes. 0-20) ____ XXXX Affirmative position _____________________ cross-examines negative points.

  6. (5 minutes. 0-50) XXXX ____ Negative position ______________________ offers first rebuttal.
  7. (2 minutes. 0-20) ____ XXXX Affirmative position ____________________ offers second rebuttal.

  The strength of argument, appropriateness of the argument for each component, the presentation, and the the ability to communicate clearly, ability to be heard and understood, will all be considered. I will use the debate record sheet to record this information during the debate.

• Team Documents

  Neatness, completeness, and presentation will be part of the grade.

  1. Activity log of meetings, activities, attendance, and other pertinent material
  2. Task Assignment Document, including a list of each task, its assigned owner, an explicit set of expectations for that task, and date due.

• Individual Self Assessment

  Part of an individuals grade will be based on the Self and Peer Debate record sheet turned in. This will be based upon the completness of the form, and the self assessment essay.

• Individual Peer Assessment

  Information from all teammates' Self and Peer Debate record sheet will be combined to make the peer assessment component of the grade.
