Your appraisal percentage will be determined by your tutor based on the submissions from your fellow group members. You will then receive this percentage of your groups` assignment mark. For example, if the group assignment scores 16 out of 20 but you have an appraisal score of 50% then you will receive 8 out of 20 for the assignment.
