Adjustment of Free rider’s Project Score

There are 2 components to peer evaluation: a) Peer evaluation score will determine how much the tutor
will deduct from the final score. b) If the average peer evaluation score awarded by other team members
is less than 5 points out of 10 and highlighted during the interim reporting of non-contributor/ free rider, a
learner will be identified as a free rider and consequently, the average peer evaluation score will
determine the penalty to the free-rider’s group component score. Please also provide reasons/
justifications/ examples on team members highlighted as free riders in the peer evaluation form.
 
Each learner will rate the contribution of other team members using a 10-point scale through a
confidential digital peer evaluation form administered by their module tutor. The award of peer evaluation
scores for other team members should be based on the quality of each team member’s collaboration
practices (self-awareness & management, leadership, interpersonal & collaboration, as well as
communication & inclusivity skills). You should also take into account each team member’s attendance
and punctuality during project meetings.
 
Your module tutor will only deduct a free rider’s group component score if his/her average peer evaluation
scores awarded by team members is less than 5 points out of 10. (i.e. team members had rated that the
free rider had contributed, on average, less than 50% to the group project.) As such, you should award
less than 5 points (less than 50%) for a free rider’s peer evaluation score with substantiative
reasons/ justifications/ examples so that he/she can clearly be identified as a free rider.
 
As an illustration, if a learner had obtained an average score of 4.5 points out of 10 (less than 5 points) for
his/her peer evaluation, he/she would be identified as a free rider who had only contributed 45% to the
group project. This free-rider learner would only be awarded 45% of the group component score. On the
other hand, another learner who had obtained an average score of 5 points and above for his/her peer
evaluation would not be rated as a free rider. This learner would be awarded 100% of the group
component score (no deduction to group component score).
