Abstract
To reduce the subjectivity of class participation grades, a method was devised that combined forced-distribution peer ratings with professor grades. In seven seminar courses, correlations between professor and peer ratings ranged from .83 to .90. Course/teacher evaluations were high and the prof/peer technique was generally perceived as a fair way to evaluate participation.Keywords
