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!) I don't believe it is fair for a group to be graded as a group. It goes beyond simply being graded on how you 'work' together because one student can put in the effort and nothing they say or do can ensure that their group puts in that same effort. I think grades have to earned individually for what those students do in their group. I never particularly liked group work in school for this very reason. I also think participation should count for a grade as well.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Participation and involvement should definitely be a grade.
