“…If a group assignment will unfold over more than one class period, peer evaluation should occur at multiple points, not only at its completion (Brooks and Ammons, 2003). Since frequent evaluation may consume a lot of time, instructors may wish to eliminate formative peer evaluations and replace them with allowing each group to terminate under-performing peers – an option that has been shown as an effective way to reduce free riding (Abernathy and Lett, 2005).…”

“…For example, Amy and Elzbieta 8 looked at the perceived effects of client and non-client-based projects on students. The perception of students on long-term client-based projects and shorter-term case studies were studied by Abernethy and Lett 37 . These papers do not delve into the project variations.…”

“…A serious problem that occurs frequently in student groups is diminished effort by some free-riding members (e.g., Abernethy and Lett 2005;Beard et al 1989;Bosley 1990;Dommeyer 2007Dommeyer , 2012Latane, Williams and Harkins 1979;Strong and Anderson 1990;Tyagi 2010) or disassociation from the group by "lone wolf" team members (Barr et al 2005;Dixon et al 2003). Finally, team projects frequently fail to provide the intended learning experience for a variety of reasons, among them students" lack of effective interpersonal and small group skills, which leads to counterproductive group conflict (Forman and Katsky 1986;Johnson and Johnson 1987;Kohn 1986).…”

“…Meeting minutes (Bogert and Butt 1990;Larson and LaFasto 1989), individual logs (Goldstein and Malone 1984;Nezlek et al 1983) as well as mid-term and end of term peer evaluations (Williams et al 1991;Darian 1988;Dommeyer 1986) accompanied by confidential memos (Williams et al 1991) were collected from the students. In addition, the professor reserved the right to "fire" a student from the group at the mid-term if a student"s peer evaluations indicated excessive free riding (Abernethy and Lett 2005).…”
