Evaluating students in a computational science class is an interesting, and, at times, difficult process. As a project-based class, the evaluation method shifts from content based to process based; and, from individual evaluation to team evaluation. It also needs to include group self-evaluation and self-analysis. Evaluation of a long-term project should also serve to pace students in their efforts. Interwoven throughout this process, is the project itself. How does the final product compare to the expectations and guidelines given?
Included in the sections below are specific items for individual evaluation, group evaluation, and project benchmarks; as well as example evaluation tools.

Peer group
evaluation consists of activities in which each student evaluates
themselves and their group members. These evaluations should include both
team processes, and contributions to the project and could be done on a
periodic basic.
