Case: Uneven Workload
Mrs. Christie gives a group a B on their project. After class a student in the group comes up to her and tells her that she had to do most of the project and the others in the group didn't do their parts. She also explains that her grade is bordering an A and it was brought down because of her group mates. What should Mrs. Christie do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Christie should explain to the student that it is too late to complain about group members effort during a project after it has been submitted and graded. If there is a problem with the group and effort of group members, this should be brought to the teachers attention prior to the project being submitted. A separate rubric could be created for each portion of the project and students could be assigned or chose different portions to complete based on their skills and abilities. Once groups have been chosen, each group could elect a leader that would oversee the project portions being chosen, and make sure that all members are completing their portion. At the end of the project, each group member could peer assess the others as part of the final grade to ensure that all members worked equally. |
