[Cmul_merc] CMul project self-assessment process

[Fernando Pereira]

   Dear CMul students

   As I told you at the beginning of this semester, the Multimedia 
Communication course will include a self-assessment component in the 
final score of the project.

   To participate in this process, each student (not each paper as 
different members of the same group may make different estimates) should 
provide to a previously identified student representative, his/her 
‘estimate’ of the score for his/her project. *I will have NO access to 
the student score estimates until late in the process. *The scores 
should be on a 0-20 scale, only integer values.

   This year you should send your score estimates to Guilherme Portela 
at guilherme0portela at gmail.com no later than Monday, May 27. 
*O**bviously, you should NOT send any score estimates to me as this will 
break the process for you.*

   While participating in the self-assessment process may only bring 
gains to the students, those who will not send any score estimation to 
Guilherme by the defined deadline will be excluded from this process.

  After having my own scores, I will meet with Guilherme to check the 
score similarities. At this stage, the students which estimated score is 
the same as my score will get a bonus of 1 point in the project score. 
The students which estimated score is ± 1 point regarding my score will 
get a bonus of 0.5 points in the final project score.

   While it may sound strange to you, every year a very large percentage 
of the students get a bonus.

   Regards
                                                             Fernando
