ECIU
Having completed one of the ECIU surveys for my team members, as well as the one for myself, I think that it is not a very worthwhile assessment for us to be doing. The primary problem is that we have not had enough experience with each group member. I feel as though many of the questions are hard to have a basis to answer at this point in our group relationship. I answered "don't know" to a large portion of the questions. I feel that it would be unfair to simply give ratings without some knowledge of what their ability is in those categories. These assessments would be very useful after interacting with each member in a number of different activities and over a longer period of time. However, at this time, I do not feel as though I have enough knowledge of each member to give accurate and worthwhile assessment on many of the areas questioned.

I agree with you on not having enough information about your peers to really assess them. Many of the situations described in the assessment were ones that we have not yet encountered with this group of peers. Also, I only see the guys in my group about three times a week for about an hour each time, so I really just haven't had enough time to form an educated opinion on these guys. Perhaps it would be a good idea to do this assessment again at the end of next semester.
