I have found it useful to ask students to put a monetary value on each group member's contribution. See the second question on the form below - I borrowed this from an economist when I taught in Texas.
Here's my form: Each member of the group is expected to participate fully in the preparation for the presentation. This form is to give you a chance to evaluate the contribution made by other members of the group. You are asked to be fair and objective in your evaluations. 1. Please evaluate the contribution by each of the other group members in terms of the effort and contribution to the preparation for the presentation. Were they available for meetings? Did they do their share of research? Did they come up with good ideas? Did they have a positive attitude towards the project? Name of Group Member 2. If you had $100 to divide among members of your group, including yourself, how would you divide this amount to recognize the contribution that each person made?
