Case: Pitfall in Group Work
You have created a small group project and have intentionally divided the rubric to include some individual grades, but most of the 100 pts are collaborative. You know that a student has not been pulling their own weight in a group and you also wrestle with the fact that by not doing the work he/she has not proven mastery of the skills you were assessing, yet will still earn a passing grade. How do you address this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I believe the only way to address this problem is to use a points system when you grade. At the very least, you have to weight different types of assignments differently. Make any collaborative type work count closer to a daily grade than anything else. Also, after lessening the impact of the small group project in the grade book, individually quiz or test students over the information and knowledge they should have obtained during the project. This will increase accountability if students know that it is an expectation. |

| Comments: I like this solution. I have issues with students not "pulling their weight" during group work in my classes. I think downgrading the weight of the assignment and quizzing over the content is a great idea to confirm mastery. |

| Comments: Great idea. Having a test that covers what students should have learned in the group project could encourage them to pull their weight more. |
