  Case: Pitfall in Group Work
You have created a small group project and have intentionally divided the rubric to include some individual grades, but most of the 100 pts are collaborative. You know that a student has not been pulling their own weight in a group and you also wrestle with the fact that by not doing the work he/she has not proven mastery of the skills you were assessing, yet will still earn a passing grade. How do you address this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Group work can be difficult to prove mastery. There will always be "that student" who does not pull his/her own weight in the project. You could make the majority of the assessment completed at school, so that you could monitor student interaction and participation. You should definitely allow the students to rate each others contribution. You should also have multiple assessments that prove mastery of a specific skill.
