For class the professor gave us evaluation forms for feedback to classmates as we go about doing our final presentations for the semester. I thought that these evaluation forms were to be given to the professor and that the EVALUATOR would be graded on the quality of provided feedback. There were five or six evaluation questions on the form, and I assumed that all of them needed to be answered while evaluating the presentations. I bring this up because I don't really like doing peer evaluations. I forced myself to answer all the evaluation questions for all the presenters, even when I felt like I was "forcing" it. I was also more direct than I would have been had I known the feedback forms would be give directly to my classmates rather than to the professor.So now I wonder if any of my classmates have read over my comments and thought that I was rather critical and/or negative. I have my own presentation to give this week and I wonder whether it will be "payback time". Argh. 😮
Probably would be a good idea to sleep with one eye open for the next few weeks. I've only had to do "peer review" once so far. Truthfully, I'd rather have give more criticism than less. One guy who did mine really ripped it apart, but it helped a lot.edit: But that was more for writing structure than content.
Luckily, I havent had to do any of these yet. Since I only have 6 more course before I finish my MA, hopefully I can avoid it. It seems like a cheap way for the professor to get the students to do his work for him.

I have to admit that it helps students to pay closer attention and extract the important points of a presentation. I think when the rest of the presentations are given tonight I just won't fill in the entire evaluation form if I don't want to. I think that peer evaluations might be more common in disciplines where powerpoint presentations are more frequently done, and mine just happens to be one of those.
