Each person, please prepare one page with the following information. You may submit this electronically, but keep in mind that email is not particularly secure. If you prefer, you can deliver it in an envelope to my lab, in 334 Egan. I will keep these confidential, but will use my best judgement in evaluating them for your score.
1. Your name
2. The number of your group
3. The name of each team member (including yourself) and a number according to the following table:
| 6 | Excellent | Leaps tall buildings in a single bound | Consistently went above and beyond. Helped teammates, carried more than a fair share of the load. Obviously if more than you award this number to more than one person, we have a problem. This is not Lake Wobegon where all the children are above average. |
| 5 | Very Good | Leaps tall buildings in a bound and a half. | Consistently did what was required and often went above. Was well-prepared and made good contributions to the team. |
| 4 | Good | Leaps mid-height buildings in two bounds or less | Usually well-prepared. Often made useful contributions. |
| 3 | Acceptable | Walks around buildings without walking into their walls | Usually did work that others suggested, but did not have a major contribution to the project. |
| 2 | Marginal | Walks into walls but doesn't hurt self or others. | Attended meetings, but conributed little, but nevertheless was not disruptive. |
| 1 | Unsatisfactory | Talks about leaping buildings, but doesn't do it. | Overall, had an adverse effect on the group's performance, by delaying, or promising but not delivering. |
| 0 | No Show | Who? | Never showed up or did any work toward the project. |
