Logistics of Group Work

You are to self-select groups of two to three students. You must inform me of your group membership by November 17. If you want assistance finding group members please let me know IMMEDIATELY! A verbal progress report needs to be presented by all members of your groups by November 26th.

The students are often apprehensive about the grading of group projects, but you get to determine the distribution of the points for your group. For example, if your group of three receives 50 on an assignment, then you have a total of 3 x 50 = 150 points to distribute among yourselves. You fill out a form, sign it, and return it to me. For the most part, the students split the points evenly, occassionally they allocate the points differently.


Assigning Points to Papers

I will use the same grading rubric from last assignment. As always, I recommend mathematical writing advice from  Annalisa Crannell at Franklin & Marshall College.
