Bascially in a nutshell we did a group project and we all had to do our part. At the end, we had to grade each other, and we were not supposed to see what the others gave us. I turned in my grade sheet, and looked down to see that she gave me a poor rating, and put down that she did not want to work with me again. I felt that I did a lot for the group, I bought the food which cost about 20 bucks, and did my part, maybe not the way she wanted it. I want to know it you think it's a good idea to talk to the professor even though we were not supposed to look at the sheet. I did gave everyone a perfect score by the way.

You played it safe and gave the other a good mark. Then you bought the food. It sounds like you are very insecure, and perhaps the person who gave you a poor rating sensed this.
You should talk to that person and get some feedback which could help you, since you do not seem to understand what you are doing wrong.
I admire the person that gave you the poor mark for their honesty and integrity. Too many teenagers want the world to treat them with kid gloves, and then they bomb out when they get a job because they cannot take criticism. Thank the person who graded you for being a true friend.

This isn't what you'll want to hear, but I say to "Rise above this". Less tactfully, suck it up. The team-mate is entitled to her opinion - there is obviously a reason. It may be her issue or yours that you're unaware of. After all, you really didn't play the game according to the guidelines either i.e. peeking at the score. Unfortunately once you get into the job force, you will run into idiots like this regularly. If you run to your boss anytime someone does something that doesn't mesh with your beliefs, you will lose respect and credibility. People will judge you in the workforce on how well you handle yourself and the quality of your work. Some fool who bad-mouths you without grounds to do so will not undermine the caliber of employee you are. I believe that this is the same standard to follow in higher education as well. Dignity is a valuable virtue. I would wait and see what the score is and perhaps discuss with the Professor why you are being graded by a peer who hasn't been trained and doesn't have the proper credentials/qualifications to be judging your work. You probably wouldn't be out of line to ask the Professor (in a non-confrontational way) why it wasn't graded by him/her. Just a suggestion. Don't mention peeking, though! Also, don't regret being supportive of your team-mates - you'll get further in life being the positive force in a team environment. I hope it turns out okay for you!

I'd wait and see what grade you end up getting first.
Then, if you don't think it's a fair grade, you can go to the professor and ask why your grade was so low.
That way, he/she won't know that you looked at the other student's sheet. If the professor then explains that you were given a low score by the other student, you can plead your case. You can even say that there's one student in your group who just has it in for you.
If the professor is a fair person, he/she will take that into account.

I wouldn't tell the professor. I don't mean to burst your bubble but he/she is not going to rely on the students for grading each other on something. He has an idea of what each student is like and how much effort they put into something they're assigned to do.
You can look at it this way - you won't have to work with her again. She doesn't sound like a good partner to me.

Sounds like the person who gave you a bad grade is just a dick. I think the tacit agreement in peer grading is usually "everyone gets a's and b's. To hell with that prick!
Don't talk to the professor, though. Chalk it up as a learning experience and go on with your life. I used to get sh-- like that all of the time in school.

It's all opinions. No need to talk to the professor. This is the reason the profeesor asked you not to look at the sheet. If you felt you did good, then I wouldn't worry about it.

definitely don't tell your professor you peaked at the sheets. Admitting you "cheated" isnt going to get you anywhere at all.
If you really want to say something, go to the professor and tell her that you know you didn't really mesh well with your group. you tried your best, gave it 100%, but you're pretty sure they didn't see it that way and you're feeling frustrated about it. At least you got to say something that way.

She must not like you personally. Sounds like a B_I_T_C_H to me. Don't ever work with her again, and if you get an A just rub it in her face. As far as the professor goes, talk to him, but it all depends on the relationship that you have with him.

its all about to give opinions., so i think you should not talk to the professor and let her submit the sheet. as you mentioned if would really did your work completly and finely your work will prove your gradings well.
so dont worry just wait and watch and be honest to your own grading.

SOUNDS LIKE LOW SELF-ESTEEM AND THE ATTEMPT TO ELEVATE ONES OWN GRADE. DONT TIP YOUR HAND, WAIT UNTIL THE GRADE IS RELEASED AND FOLLOW THRU AT THAT POINT.
GOD BLESS
