How to distribute 100 points Suppose your group has four members, including yourself.
If you thought that everyone did an equal share of the work then you would award 25 points each.
Suppose you thought that yourself and one other person put in more effort and gave yourself an extra 10 for a total of 35, then the points might be 35, 35, 15 and 15 – but is that fair? Did you really contribute more than twice as much as someone who only got 15?
How about 30, 30, 20, 20? Does that seem fairer? Did the other strong team member actually do a bit more than you?
So 33, 27, 20, 20? Did the two weaker team members do the same?
How about 33, 27, 22, 18? If you have awarded someone more than twice or less than half
their equal share of the points, please give your reasons

2 of the 50 groups awarded equal shares
21
Dealing with unfairness One student awarded herself 40 and her
three teammates 20 each Her teammates all awarded her 20 or less We adjusted her points to equal shares:
25 points each
22
Groups of one Group of two – e.g. assignment score 57%– Student A = 120, student B = 80– Individual grades are 61% and 52%
Group of one – e.g. assignment score 57%– No reward for challenge of solo project
We decided to use a factor of 133– So this student’s grade is 65%
23
Next steps Student evaluation survey:– Did they think their grades were fair?– Did they act on the formative feedback?– Their thoughts on assigning 100 points
Further data analysis and correlation Presentation at ALT-C in September Fine-tune process for next year!

TEAMMATES doing its job!
Student to tutor:Hi, I've given everyone an equal 20 in my group but I fear other will favour themselves and give themselves an extra 5-10, and I will get less marks. This system favours people being slightly biased to themselves, enough so that they don't get picked up on. I fear people won’t be as fair as I have been.

TEAMMATES doing its job!
Tutor to student:With feedback comes a level of anxiety for everyone. The system we are using spots patterns in groups so strong gaming is identified.We of course also look at the feedback from class tutors as well as feedback from students so there are checks and balances in the system.

His feedback scores:[student 1] = 20 (12.0) – weak student[student 2] = 4 (29.2) – team with 4[self score] = 20 (11.6)[student 4] = 4 (29.0) – team with 2[student 5] = 10 (18.2)

TEAMMATES doing its job!
Student 2 feedback comment:He showed up to one meeting outside class, and in class was always late and distracting from the group work. His part of the project was entirely rewritten by myself and [student] as it was incoherent and had not answered the question.

Student 4 feedback comment:He showed up to one meeting and his submission had to be totally rewritten as it was incoherent and had not addressed the question at hand, he did not attend the group session to help right this, he showed no effort what so ever.
