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 break down the rubric on how it specifically applies to the student's grade. It is unethical to negatively affect another student's grade based on another student's performance, and thus, makes the assessment invalid. If Mrs. Christie can show data on why the percentage of content mastered was what it was, then the grade should stand (and Mrs. Christie should identify areas in which mastery can be obtained in future assignments).
It is also important to use this situation as a teachable lesson for later in life... There is nothing wrong with B's and C's if the person gives everything they have. Too often, American society has redefined success as an A and attending a big college. Success is trying your best and being proud of what you EARN.
If data doesn't support validity, Mrs. Christie should throw out the assignment completely for the whole class... Completion grades are not assessments. Poor teaching. Has to have immediate impact or it's a waste of time. |

| Comments: This solution was helpful because it addressed the fact that assessments can not be graded based on completion. Students should work hard and complete projects as assigned with rubrics and breakdown of work. |

| Comments: I feel this is a good soulution, on other group projects have students submit and outline or proof of work they have done on their own. Have one person as the group leader to pull all the material together and give extra points for the team leader. |
