Instructors encounter several obstacles when seeking to adopt student team paper assignments. One of the most difficult obstacles concerns the allocation of points to individuals for their participation in producing the collective product. We have developed a Team Evaluation and Assessment Matrix (TEAM) rubric specifically to address the problem of grading individual performance in teams. In this article, we will discuss the development and nature of the TEAM and then results of an initial assessment from three Introduction to Sociology classes. As background, we provide a brief description of a classroom structure for managing team paper assignments. We argue that the TEAM helps students perceive team paper assignments as a valuable method of learning, a method that helps improve their mastery of course content, enhance their writing skills, and increase their appreciation of real-life, instrumental task-oriented teamwork activities.
