I have been assigning group projects for about 20 years and have lucky
enough (until this semester) to have few students complaints about their
fellow groups members. This semester I have many, many problems with
groups complaining about members not carrying their fair share.
Up to now while I occasionally ask the students to grade themselves and
others in their groups, I have never formally written a group
participation scoring protocol on my syllabus. Therefore I have started
wondering about the best way of grading group member participation. I
asked several professors how they graded member participation and each
had a slightly different way of doing it. I was wondering how other
faculty graded this participation.
By the way, I have found a site called "Student Survival Guide to Managing
Group Projects" that looks intriquing but I haven't had time to
investigate it in detail. If you are interested, see
