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!) Have students initial next to their part of the project and let them know that the ones who do not participate will get a zero. You could also try pairing the students up in different groups each time to see who works better with others.
