During a topic about group work in geography class, my instructor posed a question to us "How do you evaluate group work?". He pointed out that not a single teacher, in any department, will mark group work the same especially knowing that not all students learn the same way.
Is it fair to mark everyone the same on their final product, knowing some members may have contributed little? Or should you give each member a separate mark that takes into consideration their involvement (through observation or peer evaluation)?
The website here Assessing Student Learning with Groupwork addresses more of the pros/cons and it's uses in more detail.
In university I experienced both types of group evaluation. If you have a modified rubric/marking scheme which touches upon this please leave a message/comment.
