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!) The teacher should start grading them individually. Something that works is to divide the work up for the group and for each student to submit their parts on their own before it is put together for a complete group assignment. Giving the group a private review would also help so that students can privately rate their group members' participation honestly.
