UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, SYDNEY SCHOOL OF ACCOUNTING 22420 INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING ASSIGNMENT Peer Group Evaluation With all group projects, it is possible that all group members might not share equally in the workload. In such a case, it would be unfair to assign the same grade to all members of the group. This evaluation form is your opportunity to inform me of any such situation in your group. Your Name___________________________________________________________ Below, please list the other members of your group (excluding yourself). In the points allocated column, next to each group member, write the number of points out of a total of 100 points that you feel represents the relative effort of that group member in comparison to other members (excluding yourself). For example, if there were four other members of your group and you feel that all contributed equally, you would assign 25 points to each of the four members. Your total points must equal 100.
