How Group Projects Should Be Assessed · Academic discussion
Write your own response, addressing every part of the task.
Contribute to the discussion below. State your view, respond to at least one idea already raised, and add a reason or example that develops the discussion.
Lecturer: Should every member of a group project receive the same grade, or should individual contributions affect the result? Mina: A shared grade encourages cooperation. If students focus only on individual marks, they may keep useful ideas to themselves. Daniel: A shared grade can be unfair when one person does most of the work. A short individual reflection could help the teacher recognise different contributions.
Task requirements
