  Case: Group Work
Is it fair for everyone to receive the same grade? Or do you divide it?

I just did a group assignment and had to give everyone the same grade. They HAD to work together (they did a trial). But some people did nothing and some people did a lot. I never know what to do!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Create a rubric prior to the assignment so students know what to expect. It is also helpful to to assign different positions to students to that they are doing a fair share of the work. In addition, it is beneficial to do a survey at the end of the project. The survey should be anonymous and allow the student to comment of their peers' contributions to the project.
