Homework_Dancing Class and Fair Grading (2)
On teamwork, students show different qualities and contributions. A student will come up with a brilliant idea, and another will use their problem-solving skills. There will be someone who shows leadership and someone who are good at research and support. And for a worst case, there could be a free rider. So, teachers should consider both of product and process of the teamwork. For fair assessment, grades should reflect on what processes the students have been through to their final outcome. But if grading focuses on the end-product only, and all the students on the team will be given the same grade regardless of the level of their engagement and effort, it may ruin the purpose of teamwork in a way of demotivation. I think the value of teamwork lies in the process where people of different colors and qualities should be cooperative for a better result.
