Dear Sir,
This evaluation form was obtained from a friend whose tutor required them to evaluate their group mates. After some discussion, we feel that it is necessary that we do an evaluation of our group mates in order to present to you a fair picture of the differing efforts put in by some of us during the course of our project.
For the past few months, Axxx and I have done our parts in ensuring that our project progresses smoothly. Exxx, on the other hand, had been absent for too many times, often giving somewhat unclear reasons at the very last minute. At other times, she would be late for hours, turning up only when all the tasks were already done. This makes coordination difficult within the group as she may even miss meetings without informing us, and thereafter avoid our calls for a week or so.
Initially, we thought Exxx really could not make it for the meetings. However, after several incidences when she totally disappeared, we realised that we could not afford to let her slow down our pace. Axxx and I had decided to do much of the work of our project on our own, leaving Exxx with the minor parts like Bibliography and some parts of Literature Review and Background. Even so, more often than not, she would turn up for meetings without completing her part, giving reasons like her internet was down at home etc.
We do not say for certain that she is lying, but over a period of 8 months, it would be unfair to both Axxx and I if we do not let you know this problem. We hope that you can give us a fair grade and henceforth discourage the problem of free-riding. Based on some objective evaluation, we suggest that our total marks be divided into 5 parts, so that Exxx will obtain 1 part while Axxx and I will receive 2 parts each. This arrangement, implying that Exxx only gets half our marks, does not seem unreasonable as we are certain that she did not do more than half of what we had done over the past few months.
This is only a suggestion which we think is fair to us. We hope to hear your advice with regards to this. We are sorry for the trouble, and we thank you for your time.
