Group Mark Weighing

• Each student will submit 6 Peer Reviews

– Assess, rank and justify, if necessary, their own

contributions, as well as those from each group

member to determine what fraction of the total member to determine what fraction of the total

mark each member shall receive

• Weighting will be used for 50% of Group Mark

Group Peer Review - Score

Scale: Your Expectation: Equivalent Comment:

3 Exceeds “Better than most of group in this respect”

2 Meets “About average for this group in this respect”

1 Marginally Meets “Not as good as most of group in this respect”

0 Fails to Meet “No help at all in this respect”0 Fails to Meet “No help at all in this respect”

Awarded By: Ryan Jane Mary

Awarded To: Ryan Jane Mary Ryan Jane Mary Ryan Jane Mary

Indicator #1 3 3 2 1 2 0 0 2 2

Indicator #2 1 0 0 2 2 2 1 1 1

Indicator #3 2 2 0 2 3 2 0 1 2

Total 13 16 10

Average Score: (13 + 19 + 10)/3 = 14

Ryan’s Rating Factor = (Sum of Ryan’s Scores) / (Average Score) = 12/14 (0.86)

Jane’s Rating Factor = (Sum of Jane’s Scores) / (Average Score) = 16/14 (1.14)

Mary’s Rating Factor = (Sum of Mary’s Scores) / (Average Score) = 11/14 (0.79)

Let’s say that the Group is awarded a mark of 80. Then each student gets 50% of this mark (40) as

a right; the other 50% is moderated by their peer and self-assessment rating:

Ryan is awarded:: 40 + (0.86 x 40) = 74.4%

Jane is awarded: 40 + (1.14 x 40) = 85.6%

Mary is awarded: 40 + (0.79 x 40) = 71.6%

Academic Integrity

• Academic Dishonesty

– Consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means & can result in serious consequences

• Grade of zero; loss of credit with a notation on transcript and/or suspension or expulsion from the university

• Your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty– Refer to Academic Integrity Policy

• Common 4Z06 forms of academic dishonesty:– Plagiarism

– Improper collaboration in group work

Intellectual Property

& Confidentiality

• Sponsor companies may require students to

sign a confidentiality & intellectual property

(IP) agreement to:

– Protect existing company IP– Protect existing company IP

– Clarify ownership of any new IP that may arises

• Students may be asked to waive their rights to

intellectual property arising from the project

work

Safety Aspects

• Safety is of paramount importance

– Appoint safety officer to collect contact information of the

team members (including advisors) and send to me

– Adhere to MAC procedures for safe practice in labs

– Consult the appropriate lab supervisor for guidance– Consult the appropriate lab supervisor for guidance

– When visiting a company, all should understand and

comply with all appropriate company procedures and

participate in training as required by the company

– Each student has the right and responsibility to withdraw

from travel if they regard conditions as potentially unsafe

at the time
