Peer evaluation for business schools.

Give every MBA and undergraduate business student a fair, research-backed team experience, and give yourself the documentation AACSB reviewers actually want to see.

Built for AACSB assurance of learning

AACSB Standard 5 asks schools to demonstrate that students are developing specific competencies, and teamwork is almost always on the list. The problem is that most peer evaluation tools produce a single number. That is not the kind of evidence accreditation reviewers find compelling.

CoStudy captures behavioral data across multiple dimensions of collaboration: accountability, communication, conflict navigation, and contribution equity. Each dimension maps directly to the learning goals your school has already defined, so when it is time to write your continuous improvement report, the data is ready: longitudinal, exportable, and easy to present.

We have worked with faculty at IU Kelley School of Business to refine this workflow. Their AACSB review team cited CoStudy data as one of the strongest artifacts in their teamwork competency portfolio.

What business faculty use CoStudy for

Group project grading

Multiply or adjust individual grades using peer-reported contribution scores. Students know their effort matters, and you have a defensible rationale for grade differentiation.

Roles-based evaluation

Assign and evaluate students in specific roles (project manager, analyst, presenter) so feedback is targeted and students develop leadership skills incrementally.

Formative check-ins

Run quick mid-project pulse checks so teams can course-correct before the final deliverable. Students learn to give feedback early, not just at the end.

Accreditation-ready exports

Export aggregated, anonymized data by learning goal and cohort. Format it for your AACSB continuous improvement narrative in minutes, not days.
