What ensures an accurate rating? Having various metrics by which to measure one rating ensures that there is a discussion and acknowledgement of the various aspects of group work and the participation of the individual in it. For example, a member of a team could be a quiet observer, hardly ever contributing to the discussion at hand but go above and beyond in their portion: be that research, artistic input, analysis, etc. By including the various metrics that make for good teamwork, it gives their overall rating a more accurate depiction of who the team member is and how they contribute, which in turn could also help any professor or manager using the site to grasp their capabilities and shortcomings and to which team they would be most suited to in the future.

What does the a rating mean? It is a blunt and basic argument of how the team-member behaved and contributed to the project they were assigned, but it does not encompass them as a person. Each comment and metric provided can mean as little or as much to professor if they wish to include group participation as part of their grade, and based on which metrics they wish to pay attention to.

Is the rating permanent? Yes and no. It is there as an overall, but a history of each group they have been part of will also be provided. Meaning a member could have a rating of 3.5/5 but have stellar reviews for the last 4 groups they were part of. It is important to note that people change, and to not begrudge them moments of weakness.
