Overview

Students can reflect on the collaborating and contributing process within groups. Group assignments is a practice that is often used in education.

Additionally, by asking group members to evaluate each other’s contribution, free riding can be eliminated. As such, group member evaluation will improve both the critical thinking and involvement of students.
