Abstract
This is a description of use of a rating system in which both students (peers) and an instructor evaluated the performance of 32 debate teams and 136 peer team members, with peers' and the instructor's evaluations being equally weighted in assigning grades. Peer evaluation was psychometrically reliable. Peers and instructor were similar in evaluating defensive and offensive debate performance, but peers gave more favorable ratings than the instructor for presentation and research. Over-all, the rating system was perceived by participants as fair and not a popularity contest. Most peers reported that they were comfortable as evaluators.
