So, grading may be heavily dependent on the process rather than the product. Further, typical issues such as attendance and discipline problems often make group activities such in title only]]> 2016-08-08 06:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/117693412 https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/117756192 There always seems to be one student that wants to dominate the discussion and work even though there are clear roles assigned. Students are not used to relying on their peers to learn. ]]> 2016-08-09 01:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/117756192 hlofflin https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/117918664 My biggest challenge has been assigning the outliers to groups -- those who are significantly above or below grade level. The above want to do everything, and the below don't know what to do. Both often spend a significant amount of time outside of the classroom with SPED services. Also, making sure the work is being divided evenly among students can be an issue.]]> 2016-08-10 18:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/117918664 https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/118117408 The two challenges that I often face are when one or two students take over all of the work because they feel their group mates are inferior, or when the "inferior" students decide to do nothing because they don't like the assignment and then the others have to pick up the slack and do it themselves. ]]> 2016-08-12 13:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/118117408 artsefirefly https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/118189901 Challenges of Group Work:
Some students do all of the work while others are less motivated. There are some students who dominate the entire project because they don't take into consideration that all students can contribute. Also, I have found that students who are absent a lot cause issues for their group because the weight becomes unbalanced when everyone is not there to play their parts. ]]> 2016-08-14 01:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/118189901 https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/118205060 There is always that one student that does not want to allow others to collaborate. Also even with clear instructions there is some students who still try and sit back and not participate.]]> 2016-08-14 16:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/innisj/4rt0c6nk7ylx/wish/118205060
