Instructors often incorporate self-and peer evaluations when they use teamwork in their classes, which is common in management education. However, the process is often time consuming and frequently does not match well with guidance provided by the literature. We describe the development of a web-based instrument that efficiently collects and analyzes self-and peer-evaluation data. The instrument uses a behaviorally anchored rating scale to measure team-member contributions in five areas based on the team effectiveness literature. Three studies provide evidence for the validity of the new instrument. Implications for management education and areas for future research are discussed.

The increasing use of the computer in both the workplace and the classroom brings with it many dangers in addition to many exciting opportunities. In structural engineering, the user of analysis and design programs must also visualize and understand the physical "structural reality" to properly use the programs. Physical models have been integrated into the curricula of four structural engineering courses to enhance the "physical" understanding of both classical and numerical techniques and programs. The five models described herein were specifically developed for both in-class and out-of-class demonstrations and exercises. Photographs and student comments accompany the descriptions. Student response has been positive. Address to a web site is included for additional descriptions, photographs, and student comments.
