    grrrr

    I have a student who I KNOW is lying to me about her participation in a project. I'm SO frustrated! I know WHY she's lying...if she fails this project, she'll fail this class again, and she doesn't want that to happen. Man this irritates me! Waiting for my Assoc. Dean to give me her thoughts on the situation.

    and

    Vent isn't a forum, its a sub-forum, but your thread is fine here.

    Use water boarding to get her to confess

    With a group project I always like to have the group members grade each other. The other members all failed her saying she did nothing to contribute. Let me just say that this will be changing the way that I do group projects in the future. From now on they will have to write exactly what they contributed where each group member can read and approve. Again though, you're looking at a he said, she said setting. hmmmmm....maybe I'll have them divide up the project at the beginning and have them let me know what they're doing BEFORE they start. That way I'll know which portions to grade for each individual, but THEN it just becomes another individual assignment.


    Ideas anyone?

    So fail her and let her make an appeal based on her works if she dares.

    Just a thought: The other members of the group may not like her, and that dislike may have discouraged her from participating. Or, she's lying. Or, the other kids are lying. Hard to say.

    As a student, I never liked group projects, I always preferred to do my own work. Before making her repeat the class, you might give her the option to do an individual assignment.
