Collaborative team projects are a necessary part of CS education. However, assessment of individuals on a team is difficult. Typically, instructors independently assign a single grade for the delivered product. An individual's grade may then be determined by modifying the single grade using peer assessments. The peer assessment is often limited to estimating the percentage contribution of each individual. Adding a "quality of the contribution" factor to the peer assessment provides a more accurate assessment. Further improvement results when the peer assessment is performed for specific learning objectives addressing the overall project rather than just the final product. Each of these learning objective's assessment is weighted according to the instructor's determination of importance. An instructor's weighted assessment is combined with the peer assessments to provide stability of the individual's final assessment. Specific techniques for performing these assessments are described and discussion of experiences using this technique is given.
