He notices that in one particular group one student does most of the work while the other students waste time. He tells the group that they should be sharing the workload. A few minutes after he talks to the students, they go back to the same set-up. How should he grade each student in the group? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This is a great opportunity to use a fair-share rubric. Fair share rubrics involve a little more work for the teacher, but the result is more equitable than traditional rubrics. Students are all grading each other according to the criteria on the rubric. They assign numbers according to the effect expended by each person. This factors into the final grade. I have found this to be a great way to grade group work/projects. Students are amazingly honest about themselves and their peers. Most of the time, there rubric grades are in-line with what I am witnessing in class.
