LOL! I really do understand, TP. Group projects drive some people crazy.

Every year, I always have one or two kids, in each class, that freak out when I assign group projects. I just remind them that most of the time, they get to work independently, and that learning to work with others, is a necessary skill. I'm also really diligent about making sure that they know, I know, how much work they're putting into the project. Most of the time, these kids are just worried that they'll get stuck with all of the work, or that they'll receive a lower grade, due to a lack of effort from their group members.

In all of the years I have been teaching, I have never given a low grade to a hard-working student. I will dock the kids who fail to contribute, though; I have zero tolerance for laziness or apathy. Also, I never overlook individual contributions, and if necessary, I will adjust the "group" grade, on an individual basis.

Keep in mind that I teach middle school, so what's "fair" for one student may not be the same thing that's "fair" for another student. Now, at the high school or college level, a group grade must be earned together. There's very little wiggle room there.

I'm sorry you're frustrated. What is it that you're working on?

I hate group projects, too. Nobody wants to be reasonable and do it my way.
