  Case: Student who likes to do work at home
You have assigned your students a group project and are allowing them to work on it in class. One group approaches you and expresses their concern that one of their group members is not working during the allotted class time on the project. This student consistently turns in work on time and has never failed to turn in an assignment. You approach the student and they claim that they like to do their work at home. How do you resolve this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would be positive with the student and let them know I do acknowledge that they do always turn in their work in on time, but when I give them time in class to work on a project they need to work. I give them this time to work with their group members and also so I can address any problems they come across. I would also make sure the students understand that they are being graded on their group work and if the student doesn't work cooperatively they could lose those points.

Comments: Not a well developed solution because just explaining to the students that they need to work in groups isn't helping so there needs to be steps taken to help.
