Extract from code of practice for assessed group work
Group conduct
Every group member should provide to other group members a reliable means of contact (phone, email, mobile, etc.) at the start of the groupwork. Every group member is responsible for keeping in touch with other group members, helping to organise group meetings, attending group meetings, sharing out work and carrying out allocated work to jointly agreed deadlines. If any group member cannot attend a meeting or carry out agreed work, this must be for a good reason and other group members must be properly informed in advance of the meeting if at all possible.
Problems within a group
If a group is suffering from difficulties owing to the behaviour of one or more of its members, it should first try to resolve them internally. If this cannot be done swiftly and satisfactorily, group members should contact the course leader, explaining the nature of the difficulties, and make an appointment to see him/her as soon as possible. Alternatively, if the course leader observes problems within a group, (s)he may ask to see the students. The course leader may decide whether to see the students all together or to see one or more of them separately. The course leader will make notes of such meetings and the notes will be distributed to the students and kept on their files.
There are a number of actions a course leader may decide to take, including:
a request to the group to make further efforts to resolve their problems internally
asking for full details in writing from all students
issuing a warning to one or more students
making a further appointment with one or more of the students
penalising an offending student by a specified number of marks
asking an offending student to carry out extra work
removing an offending student from a group
In all cases, the course leader will make clear in writing what action will be taken regarding assessment, including any possible compensation for non-offending students.
Students have the right of appeal to the Head of Department for the module, whose decision will be final.
Assessment of group work
The normal expectation is that the course leader will assign the same group work mark to every member of a well-functioning group. If (s)he decides to give different marks within a group, the reasons will be clearly stated.
