  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!)
I would say that you do not absolutely have to give everyone in a group the same grade. I would reduce the students letter grade who did nothing on the project and give them an explanation as to why I graded that way. The students who did the work deserve a good grade.
