CIS677 Spring '01 - Chunking Quality Evaluation Form
Chunking Conference Mc-P and Z

For each participant in your own chunking conference only, please evaluate the overall quality of their chunks. Please judge the quality of the comments, not whether they were on time or not.

Do not evaluate your own.

Many students question whether they are capable of grading their peers, and whether this is even appropropriate. We strongly believe both. By the end of the semester you will have read 20-25 chunks and replies from each member of your group. We do not expect you to have to reread all the chunks in your conference to make this evaluation. You should have simply a good feel for the overall quality of each group member after this period of time, and be able to grade them based on what you recall at the end of the semester.

In your evaluation, please remember that the quality of chunks does not arise from your classmates' background in IS.  Chunking comments can:

• be based on your own experiences with IS as a user or simply a member of society
• relate the chunk to a prior reading from class, from another class or in the trade press
• relate the chunk to current news items
• relate the chunk to one's feelings about its topic
• reflect an ideal situation or fantasy
• etc.

Please return this evaluation form to your instructor by 3/7 (intermediate version) and 4/18 (final version). Distance students can mail it to Prof. Bieber - NJIT, CIS Department - Newark, NJ 07102-1982 - or fax it to (973) 596-5777.

The intermediate version will not count towards anyone's grade. Instead it will tell you how everyone feels you are doing. The final version will count towards the course grade, and should reflect everyone's chunking quality across the semester.

Note that all evaluations will be held in strictest confidence - no one will see the evaluations except the instructor.

Please be honest in your evaluations.

Thanks!

Professors Bieber and Smith
