How is group work measured?
Group work is often assessed on more than one level.Some of the most common are as follows:
Group product: •What is the quality of the final outcome (the presentation or report)?
Group process: •How successfully has the group worked together? •How effectively have you managed your work?
Individual contribution: •You may be asked to submit a report focusing on your contribution to the group activity as a whole.
Self and peer assessment : Sometimes students are asked to assess their own performance and/or the contributions of others. This may or may not contribute to the final group mark.
