The percentage of student contribution is taken from the score given by group members to other group members (peer-assessment) regarding the contribution in the process of working on the task from beginning to end.

  • Score 100% if the assessed member fully participates from start to finish
  • Score 75% if the assessed member participates actively, although sometimes less involved
  • Score 50% if the assessed member participates, although often not involved
  • Score 25% if the assessed member only appears at the beginning/middle/end only
  • Score 0% if the assessed member is not involved at all
  • The student contribution percentage score is the total number of peer-assessments divided by the number of group members who were assessed
