Assessing the division of labour is always a complicated matter.

I split the assessment rubric into Group assessment and individual
assessment.

The group assessment is assessed on the finished product and is the same
grade for each member of the group

Then I look at individual contributions- journals, plans or designs,
evaluation reports etc. This grade is individualised for each students.

The weighting of the two parts depends a lot on the task.

Hi Andrew

With SAC conditions, it is not always possible to have a talking- free
zone, particularly when the SAC is over a long period.  Outcome 5, where
the kids track their development in programming is one such example -
they should be asking questions, helping and interacting with each
other.  I monitor the work produced, but mainly assess their journals,
testing tables and the ICT career investigation.  I try not to have too
many kids investigating the same career, or if they are they are, not
sitting together.

In outcome 6, it is a group task, so naturally they have to talk!  I
think the biggest problem with this outcome is the division of labour -
it always seems that some kids do more than others and its hard to
distinguish who has done what when you come to assess it.  On a
philosophical level, they should probably all get the same; if someone
in the group wasn't working, then it should have been up to the others
to put the pressure on.  I think I am going to include some sort of
personal diary next time I do this SAC so at least they have to pretend
to do something constructive each period!

How do others mark group tasks?  Do you mark each person's contribution
separately?  Or do you give all members of the group the same mark,
regardless of how much work he/she did?  

regards

Janet Bane

Hi,

Just looking over my notes from last year on IT unit 1/2.

IN UNit 2 there is a long assigmnet parts A/B and then a group project ,
for outcomes 2 & 3.

What I want to know is SAC conditions. I allowed some talking for both
SACs for various reasons.

Unit 2 outcome 2 went for about 3 weeks with some sick leave I took.

How do other people handle these conditions as do you allow any talking
etc.

It is too easy for students to 'cheat' with these long SACs and group
work. They can get an answer at home and not bring the answer in.
