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!) I have personally had this happen when I was told to group work in high school, and other group members would not give their fair share or nothing at all. I would suggest to have separate grades for individual and group work, which is what I had in high school. This way the students who did their work will get the grade they deserve and the others will get the one they deserved. Another thing is to have the students in the group rate each other for the group work part.                 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: helpful Rated On: October 16, 2017 3:30 am Rated By: aTuraJ
