On Peer Evaluations
A few days ago, I turned in my performance evaluations along with the final HR simulation report. Finishing the performance evaluations was not an easy task. I was torn between doing the right thing and being a "good" guy. On the one hand, I felt that giving everyone top scores would be unfair to the team members who contributed much more than others. On the other hand, I wanted to make everyone happy. Luckily, I had already considered this dilemma before completing the team evaluations. Thus, with input my teammates, I created three peer evaluation systems. I asked the team to vote on the one they felt best able to represent the work they had done over the semester. The team chose a more qualitative approach to the team evaluations. However, some aspects, such as team participation were straight off the books. As a result I felt comfortable as the peer evaluation stuck a balance between qualitative and quantitative aspects.

I agree with Johnson. When I was doing the peer evaluations, I was torn between either being nice or being fair. I didn't want anyone to think I was mean, but I wanted to evaluate my team members on the true way they contributed to my team. Also, I felt that the peer evaluation from the actual HR Simulation packet was unfair. It made you pick like one person for each number. I had a really hard time doing that because there were 2 people on my team who were completely equal; because I had to pick one, the one I didn't pick seemed to be less of a contribution from a numbers aspect, but that was completely untrue. I think that peer evaluations should be a big part of someone's grade, but at the same time, there are some stipulations that I think some people get shafted because we are forced to pick between either one or the other.
