2. 5- Evaluate

2.1. Students are asked to evaluate their peers on weekly basis. Furthermore instructors are only asked to evaluate the final submission of the complete project. All instructors evaluate the paper following the same rubrics. So if my student from Saudi Arabia is with 5 other students from 5 different universities; the paper will be evaluated by 6 instructors including myself. Final grades include instructors and students evaluations. Submissions are weekly and students from the same group are each asked to submit the same agreed on text to make sure that all are working and are on track.
