I have established a rule for all of my classes that specifically lays out the guidelines for submission of work. If it is late due to an unexcused absence, it will not be made up. If it is for an excused absence, the student will have one week to make it up, but each day that it is late during that week is assessed a 5% penalty deduction. After the 7th day, a grade of 0 is given.

How do you manage the assignment of groups when there is a student that no one wants in their group, due to laziness, lack of work ethics and lack of dependability?
