Reading this section bothered me. There was a part where it was suggested to put these students who don't care or are unprepared into groups so they can see the value of group participation in their work and the other students cant move forward until he or she does his part. Last month I took a CEE course (ED105 or ED106) saying groups should be graded on both group and individual participation. So the way I see it is if the last is true, assigning an I don't care learner to a group will not only allow the IDC learner to glide but mess up the grades of those who do. I can see this method working to an extent if the conditions are right. Being new to the instructor community I am trying to keep my mind open however in the field I instruct the entire course is based on individual effort and those who do not care or perform eliminate themselves from the course. Any suggestions for this would be greatly appreciated
