  Case: Lazy Group Members
There is an issue I have observed in a high school classroom in which students were split up into groups of 6 to do a collaboration project outside of class. In one group, only two members were participating while the other 4 did nothing. Time is ticking and the project due date is quickly approaching. The two participating members of the group have expressed to the teacher their frustrations with the lazy group members. They have tried reaching out to the lazy group members, but they are still not participating. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In addition to lowering grades and grading the individuals as well, if the teacher does participation grades for each day, I would lower daily participation grades if the students are continuing to not cooperate and work with their other group members.
