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!)
A solution that I have found to work well when I assign group activities, is to create defined roles for each member in the group. I allow them to chose the role they would like, however, once they select a role, they are held accountable for the duties and responsibilities of that role. I also include the responsibilities of the different roles into the rubric, so students will understand the expectations for their individual role, as well as, their overall group expectations. |

Comments: I feel as if allowing students to choose their own roles in groups can allow students to not do as much work by design. |
