  Case: Group presentations
After my class completes a group project I usually ask who wants to present/speak out of the group then after the student presents I ask if the others wanted to add anything. Is this the right way to go about presentations or should I have everyone say something?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think what you are trying to do is great. Let someone step up. However, everyone has (or should have) contributed to the project. Maybe still ask who would like to present because some students are better speakers and others are shy. But instead of asking if someone would like to add something. Maybe try asking the other students what their role was in the project and ask them what they learned. This way they get to talk about the effort they put in and explain something new and exciting they learned or got to do during the process.

Comments: I think asking students what their role in a group was and what they learned is more productive than asking for comments. This way, a student can prove their participation without having to experience the anxiety and stress of presenting and speaking in front of the class. To further improve this solution, I think members within a group could evaluate one another on their contribution(s).
