Hello, and welcome to the last module in the initiating and planning course.

As part of this module, you'll complete a peer review and

grade each of the deliverables that your classmates have submitted as part of their

course assignments.

And they of course, will be grading and commenting on your assignments.

This is an important part of the course as you will help determine the final grades

of your classmates, and also provide constructive feedback.

You also have the opportunity to see how others approach the assignments and

hopefully learn from them.

In order to pass the course and receive your grade, you're required to complete

three peer reviews for each of the following deliverables.

Project organization charts, project stakeholder register, and

the project charter.

You will not be allowed to start the grading or see the deliverables until you

have completed your assignment and submitted it for review.

After that, you'll be assigned three other available assignments for peer review.

As you might guess, it's important that you submit your assignment early, so

that it can be graded by others within the time constraints of this module

We want each of you to have sufficient time to perform your grading and

provide good feedback.

The grades you assign will not be arbitrary or subjective.

For each deliverable, you'll be assigned a grade using the grading rubric for

each deliverable included in this module.

Each rubric is custom fit to each deliverable.

It's important that you read the rubric carefully and

grade each assignment objectively using the grading,

the criteria set out in the rubric.

Let's look at how the rubric works.

Here's an example from the project stakeholder rubric.

You'll notice that each criteria has description of what should be included

to fully meet that requirement.

Below that description is a grading scale.

For each criteria, you should assign a grade using the grading scale.

In this case, a grade of one is assigned if the deliverable did not address

the criteria to any great extent.

A grade of 14 is given if only the title of each stakeholder's

included in the register.

A grade of 16 is given if the title if each stakeholder is listed and

some of the stakeholders have a brief description of their position.

And finally, a grade of 20 is given if each stakeholder has

a title plus a brief description of their position.

As you can see, we've tried to give you as an objective set of criterias practical

to use in your grading.

In addition, you'll notice that each criteria has a different set of points and

different grading guidelines assigned to it.

The total number of potential points for each deliverable is 100.

Your grade should not be based on subjective evaluations on whether you like

the style or whether you agree with the content or the answer.

It should be strictly based on whether and

to what extent they met the criteria set out in the rubric.

You'll notice there is space in the rubric for

you to offer comments on how to improve the deliverable.

These comments should be positive and offer ways to improve the content or

the language.

These can be more subjective in nature.

Good comments might include,

the deliverable might be stronger if you did this, or

you might consider adding that, or you can make any other positive comments.

But remember to phrase the comments positively

in a way that will help your classmates improve.

As an aid to the process, Professor Kaz and

I have completed a set of deliverables for the course.

These are also included as attachments to this module.

We suggest that you review them prior to starting your grading

assignment as a point in comparison.

But remember, the deliverables you're grading do not have to

follow the examples exactly, but rather need to comply with the grading rubric.

Thanks again for being part of the course and

good luck with your grading assignments.
