Group Project!

[HigherEd7]

What do you do when you have a group project and a couple of students dropped the course and now the groups are uneven? I do not think it would be fair to take someone from another group and place them in this group because they are already working on the project.

Take group raw scores. Divide by number of people in group. Re-calibrate to your favorite scale, and assign to each individual. :-)

Thank you for the response; however, I am a little confused by your response. The groups have been working on the project since the first week of summer school and we have around 4 or 5 weeks to go. I do not want to make to many changes this late in the semester. SMH on this one.........

I'd bet the two who dropped the course hadn't contributed a lot to the group, so they won't be a big loss. Unless there's some important reason they need to be a specific size, I'd leave them as is.

You bring up a great point! Thank you

OK. Divide raw scores of groups by number of weeks students attended in each group. :-)

Marsh does have a great point. But then be prepared to defend the decision to ignore dropouts.

We just did one.

The result is in a thread somewhere.

Who's going to grade it?

And we still haven't gotten the name order sorted out yet.

(Do we get extra credit if we get it accepted with a revise and resubmit?)
