The Answer is There are two things you might do to insure that each student does his or her part in completing the group assignment.First,each student should work on an integral part of the project.It should be clear as to which student has responsibility for a particular aspect of the project.Each part should involve approximately the same amount of work and effort.
The second step that should be followed is that the project should be evaluated by each part.In this way each student will get an individual grade for his or her participation in the project.When the project is presented,each student should present his or her part.In this way,the instructor can reward the individuals who participated.Social loafers would get their just due.
