How can I effectively manage peer evaluation among my students?
Something like the following has worked for me over several years. In any group assignment, each member of the group also submits a peer review sheet. For a group of two (e.g. pair programming) I ask each participant to detail the most important contribution of their partner AND their own most important contribution. I don't ask who worked harder or ask them to make an evaluation. I ask them for the contributions. 

In a group of about five, I will ask each member to name the (say) three most important members of their group and to mention the key contribution of each. I tell them that they can include themself in the list of three. I also ask, separately for their own most important contribution. 

I let them know at the beginning of the course that this will happen and its parameters, so it isn't a surprise. 

Students see that they are supposed to contribute to a group and are not asked to speak ill of anyone. Keep the questions entirely positive. But you also learn a lot from what is not said and who is not included in the contributor list. 

If the project happens outside your view, you also learn things about individuals that you can not otherwise know. I've had students I thought were slacking who were praised by teammates for making the team work properly. 

These peer evaluations are not optional. 

This same idea was also discussed here: https://cseducators.stackexchange.com/a/2578/1293
It is also, essentially identical to part of this: https://cseducators.stackexchange.com/a/3402/1293



Let me note that there may be cultural limitations here. In some cultures it may be odd to name oneself as a top contributor. In others it might be very natural. You can modify the scheme, of course, either requiring or forbidding naming oneself as one of the top people. Use your judgement here. 

Note also that this solution is based on the Peer Feedback pattern in Pedagogical Patterns: Advice for Educators
