Group Projects

Students should be engaged with each other on a regular basis. Group work is one way to ensure there is interaction among peers.

A host of technology tools makes collaborating much easier than one might think. Students may hold virtual meetings using tools such as Google Hangouts, WebEx, or Zoom. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides allows shared access to documents.

As the instructor, make sure group activities are comprehensive enough that students see the benefit of working together. Consider incorporating a peer evaluation rubric to encourage equitable contributions by all group members.

Successful online group work depends on clear instructions, concrete deadlines, articulation of student roles, and thorough explanations of how activities will be graded. Use the template below to set up your group project. Fill-in-the blanks to help answer the questions you’ll need to know to create the prompt. Answering these questions ahead of time will help communicate to students what the expectations of the project are upfront and prevent confusion later. Replace the information in the right hand column with your own group project details.

Making Group Contracts

Working in groups can be both rewarding and challenging. When students write down and agree upon ground rules, expectations, roles, and responsibilities in the form of a contract or project charter, they can help keep one another on track and accountable. This teaching tip discusses four steps instructors can take to support students in creating group contracts. 

Explain what a group contract is and why you are asking groups to develop one

What is a group contract.

A group contract is a document that a group creates to formalize the expectations of group members. A group contract should contain the following:

  • Group members’ names and contact information
  • Expectations (ground rules) regarding preparation for and attendance at group meetings, frequency and duration of meetings, and communication. The contract should focus on behaviours that will be expected of all group members and should only include those behaviours that are crucial to the group's effectiveness.  Groups could aim for five-seven ground rules.
  • Assignment of specific tasks, roles, and responsibilities along with due dates. The group can itemize the tasks to be completed for the project and provide a space for each group member to sign up for that task.
  • Outline of the specific process for dealing with unmet expectations or other problems that might arise.
  • An agreed-upon method for peer feedback during the project so that problems can be addressed before the project ends.
  • A place for each group member to sign, indicating their agreement to the contract.
  • A place for group members to sign once the project is completed to indicate whether or not they agree that all group members contributed as expected and, therefore, earn the group grade. 

Why use a group contract?

Explicitly discussing the benefits of group contracts will help establish good faith in the process among your students. So what are the benefits?

The benefits of small-group learning are well known — group work is associated with deeper learning, strong information retention, and the acquisition of valuable communication and teamwork skills (Oakley, Felder, Brent, & Elhaji, 2004).

On top of this, because group contracts allow students to take an active role in setting the tone for group interaction, group contracts can help "motivate ownership of learning" (Hesterman, 2016, p. 5). Writing group contracts can also:

  • Help students identify expectations of one another, communicate those expectations, and practice articulating their expectations.
  • Facilitate student reflection on their past experiences and communications practices, important transferable skills for future work and personal relationships. 
  • Increase a sense of community in the class as students get to know and work with one another.

See  7 Reasons to Use Contracts in a PBL Classroom + Tips for Use  for more information.

Identify intended learning outcomes

Reflecting on the particular pedagogical benefits you would like to see your students reap through group work can help you establish guidelines for the creation of group contracts. For example, Oakley, Felder, Brent, and Elhaji (2004) advocate for group work where groups assign roles that rotate regularly among members in order to provide each student the opportunity to practice important teamwork skills. 

Some questions to consider before asking students to draft their contracts include:

  • What kind of skills do you imagine students practice within their groups? What roles might students take on to practice them?
  • How do you want students to divide the workload? If students choose to "divide and conquer" the work, will they achieve your intended learning outcomes?
  • Which guidelines, course expectations, or rules are firm and need to be in place before students draft their contracts, and which concepts, issues, and decisions would they benefit from working through as they discuss and create their contracts?

Provide resources to guide students through the process

Give students resources for creating a first draft of their group contract, or draw on existing resources and templates to create a guide for your students to follow. These can include:

Give students time in class to write the contract

By dedicating class time to the creation of a group contract, you let students know that it is an important activity that merits time and attention. First, give students time to individually reflect on and write down what they like and do not like about working in a group. Prompt students to consider their past experiences working in a group. What went well? What didn’t go well? What contributed to the group’s success or problems? What are their strengths when it comes to working collaboratively, and what is something they would like to improve? Next, ask students to sit with their group members and share what they’ve written as a springboard to their discussion of ground rules and roles.

Appendix: University of Waterloo Sample Group Contract

Group behaviours expected of each member:.

  • All group members will be punctual. Meetings will start five minutes after the agreed start time and everyone should be there and ready by then.
  • We should attend all meetings unless there are unavoidable events such as illnesses.
  • All group members will remain in the meeting until (a) all tasks for that meeting are completed, or (b) there is unanimous adjournment.
  • Breaks will be decided by unanimous consent, and breaks will not exceed twenty minutes in length
  • All group members will come to the meetings prepared by (a) reading the assigned material (as much as possible), and (b) coming with ideas pertaining to the tasks and decisions to be made.
  • Tasks that group members agree to undertake should be completed to the agreed deadline. If it looks as though there will be a problem meeting a deadline, the person concerned should seek help from other members of the team in time to avoid a delay.
  • There will be an assimilation period at the end of the session to evaluate group mechanics and ensure that all tasks have been completed adequately.
  • Each group member has the right to point out whether any of these rules are being broken.

Behavioural

  • The group will actively seek a consensus of opinion based on the opinions of every member.
  • Each member will take turns listening as well as talking, and active listening will be a strategy for all group discussions.
  • Sexist and racist remarks are not acceptable.
  • Aggressive and dominating behaviour is not acceptable.
  • Roles will be assigned prior to a meeting or, if this is not possible, at the beginning of a meeting. Roles will rotate each meeting.
  • The leader will, at the beginning of a meeting, set sub-goals. These sub-goals will be presented to the group for a consensus of approval. The leader is also responsible for the presentation of the group material to the rest of the class.
  • The secretary is responsible for taking in-session notes and preparing presentation materials from these notes.
  • The timekeeper is responsible for keeping track of the time allotted to each discussion, and keeping the group aware of time remaining. The leader is responsible for deciding what to do when time is running out during a discussion.
  • The devil's advocate will keep his/her mind open to problems, possibilities, and divergent or opposing ideas.

Methods for resolving an impasse:

Step 1:  The group members will isolate areas of disagreement, and the group will come to a consensus. If no consensus is reached, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2:  The leader will decide the relevance or importance of the dispute and may postpone the conflict if its relevance or importance is deemed questionable or minimal.

Step 3:  The leader will decide the amount of time for discussion or arbitration before calling a vote.

Step 4:  The leader will call a vote. If the vote is a stalemate, the leader makes a final decision.

A group contract is a document you create with your group that formalizes how members will work together to complete a project.

When students write down and agree upon the ground rules, expectations, roles, and responsibilities as a group contract, they can help keep one another on track and accountable for their work.

In this section, we'll talk about what you should include in a group contract, how to set clear expectations and assign responsibilities, and how to create a project timeline to keep your group on track.

How to Write a Group Contract

  • Expectations

Introduction to Group Contracts

Many common group work problems can be avoided with a bit of planning and communication. Learn more about group contracts by watching the video and clicking on the information boxes below:

What is a Group Contract?

A group contract is a document you create with your group in order to formalize the expectations of group members. It is created collaboratively with your group and can evolve to suit the needs of the group members. Some of the ways a group contract can help include:

  • It sets out what you all expect from each other.
  • It facilitates communication and sets the tone for how your group interacts.
  • It can increase motivation and feelings of ownership among all group members.
  • It identifies the consequences of failing to meet the expectations of the group.

What's in a Group Contract?

A group contract typically includes the following elements:

  • Names and contact information of group members.
  • Expectations and ground rules for the group, such as how frequently you’ll meet.
  • Roles and responsibilities of each of the group members.
  • How you will handle any conflicts that come up.
  • A description of your project .
  • A timeline of how you’ll get it done.

Even if your group decides to not create a formal contract, it's a good idea to talk about these key areas before you start your project.

Check out the Group Contract Template to start building your own group contract! Look through the other tabs in this section to find explanations and examples of how to fill out this template.

  • Group Contract Template [Word doc] Use this template to make decisions about how your group will work together on a project.
  • Group Contract Example [Word doc] Check out this simplified contract to get inspiration for your own contract!

Expectations & Rules for the Group

We all have different work styles, communication preferences, assignment strategies, and project ideas—so how do you make sure everyone feels heard and respected when you work in a group?

Watch the video or read more about setting expectations below:

Agreeing on Ground Rules & Expectations

Set some expectations and ground rules when you first meet with your group. These can include:

  • How often will you meet? (e.g., every week or every two weeks)
  • Where will you meet? (e.g., on campus, at someone’s house, or online)
  • How often will you check in with each other? (e.g,. only at meetings or through regular emails)

Once you’ve figured out what works for you as a group, all group members need to commit to these expectations.

Roles & Responsibilities for Group Members

What kinds of tasks do you like doing? Which skills do you want to develop further?

It's important to consider how your strengths align with the skills and knowledge of your group members so you can assign specific roles to each person.

Watch the video or read more about roles and responsibilities below:

  • Video Transcript—Dividing Roles and Responsibilities [RTF]

Dividing Roles & Responsibilities

Start by figuring out which roles you need for your group and what the responsibilities are for each role. Then decide which group member(s) will fill each role.

Check out the boxes below for more details on a few sample roles you might need for your group:

The Leader:

  • Leads the discussion and encourages all group members to participate.
  • Helps guide the conversation by asking open-ended questions and focusing on positive statements.
  • Summarizes and clarifies group comments, and checks for consensus or questions from group members.

The Organizer:

  • Keeps the project on track.
  • Schedules the group meetings and makes sure meetings follow an agenda.
  • Takes notes at meetings to send to everyone afterwards.

Researcher(s)

The Researcher(s):

  • Researches topics for the project, and presents this information to the group.
  • Finds sources and information that is used to write the assignment.

Troubleshooter/Brainstormer

The Troubleshooter/Brainstormer:

  • Thinks about positives/negatives of ideas presented by the group and comes up with possible solutions to problems.
  • Tries to make sure the project is meeting the assignment expectations that were given by the professor.

The Writer(s):

  • Writes the project/report/presentation.
  • Makes sure to get their job done on time, so that the Editor has time to go over everything.

The Editor:

  • Compiles contributions from different group members to make them flow together as one consistent work.
  • Edits and proofreads the completed work before it is submitted.

Presenter(s)

The Presenter(s):

  • Works with other group members to create the presentation.
  • Presents their assignment to the class.

Some of these roles are designed for multiple people. For example, all group member will likely have to be researchers, writers, and presenters.

You should also keep in mind that some roles (e.g., the Editor) may involve more work than other roles—this means that person will need to take on fewer additional roles during the project.

Creating a Timeline for Completing Your Work

When you’re working in a group, time management becomes an even more important skill—your group needs to leave enough time for everyone to finish their work and bring it all together, which means creating a project timeline.

Watch the video or read more about creating a project timeline below:

  • Video Transcript—Creating a Project Timeline [RTF]

How to Create a Project Timeline

  • Describe the project: What do you need to create? For example, do you need a written report, a presentation, or maybe both?
  • Determine what research needs to be done : What information will you have to find to create these products?
  • brainstorming ideas
  • researching information
  • writing individual sections
  • compiling sections
  • editing the final draft
  • Write down the due date for the assignment and your own due dates for each step of the project. How much work is required for each step? For example, research will require more work than brainstorming, so you should schedule more time for your group to complete it.
  • Add the names of group members beside each step. Who is responsible for each part based on their roles in the group?
  • Group Project Timeline Template [Word doc] Use this template to plan your project timeline and assign responsibilities for specific tasks.

Putting It All Together

Now that you've discussed expectations, assigned roles and responsibilities, and created a timeline for the project, you can create a group contract to formalize these agreements.

Watch the video or read more about how to create your group contract below.

How to Create a Group Contract

  • Add the name of the project and the project due date .
  • Add the name and contact information of each group member.
  • Add the expectations you discussed into the box labelled Personal Interactions.
  • Add the Roles that your group discussed, as well as the responsibilities for each role .
  • Write down which group member has been assigned to each role in the box labelled Distribution of Workload.
  • Decide how you will manage conflict within the group . For example, you could agree to attempt to work out conflict among yourselves before you escalate a problem to your professor.
  • Add the description of your project , the products you will need to create, and the research that is needed to complete the project.
  • Add your timeline , including the parts of the projects, the due dates, and the group members responsible for each section.
  • All the group members add their signatures to the bottom of the document to indicate that they agree to abide by the terms.

Tips for Creating Group Contracts

Deciding things like how often you will meet at the beginning of your project makes it clear what is expected of your group members.

Determine who is responsible for each role within the group. This helps everyone know how they need to contribute, and makes uneven distribution of work more obvious.

Roles (like the Editor) involve a lot of work. When you’re agreeing on roles, try to spread out the workload evenly; some people could take on multiple lighter roles.

Give each chunk of the project a deadline so group members all have enough time to complete their parts.

The contract is an agreement between your group members, and it should reflect the needs of the group. Those needs might change over time—revisit your group contract during the project to make sure everyone's needs are still being met.

Ideas for Great Group Work

Many students, particularly if they are new to college, don’t like group assignments and projects. They might say they “work better by themselves” and be wary of irresponsible members of their group dragging down their grade. Or they may feel group projects take too much time and slow down the progression of the class. This blog post by a student— 5 Reasons I Hate Group Projects —might sound familiar to many faculty assigning in-class group work and longer-term projects in their courses.

We all recognize that learning how to work effectively in groups is an essential skill that will be used by students in practically every career in the private sector or academia. But, with the hesitancy of students towards group work and how it might impact their grade, how do we make group in-class work, assignments, or long-term projects beneficial and even exciting to students?

The methods and ideas in this post have been compiled from Duke faculty who we have consulted with as part of our work in Learning Innovation or have participated in one of our programs. Also included are ideas from colleagues at other universities with whom we have talked at conferences and other venues about group work practices in their own classrooms.

Have clear goals and purpose

Students want to know why they are being assigned certain kinds of work – how it fits into the larger goals of the class and the overall assessment of their performance in the course. Make sure you explain your goals for assigning in-class group work or projects in the course. You may wish to share:

  • Information on the importance of developing skills in group work and how this benefits the students in the topics presented in the course.
  • Examples of how this type of group work will be used in the discipline outside of the classroom.
  • How the assignment or project benefits from multiple perspectives or dividing the work among more than one person.

Some faculty give students the option to come to a consensus on the specifics of how group work will count in the course, within certain parameters. This can help students feel they have some control over their own learning process and and can put less emphasis on grades and more on the importance of learning the skills of working in groups.

Choose the right assignment

Some in-class activities, short assignments or projects are not suitable for working in groups. To ensure student success, choose the right class activity or assignment for groups.

  • Would the workload of the project or activity require more than one person to finish it properly?
  • Is this something where multiple perspectives create a greater whole?
  • Does this draw on knowledge and skills that are spread out among the students?
  • Will the group process used in the activity or project give students a tangible benefit to learning in and engagement with the course?

Help students learn the skills of working in groups

Students in your course may have never been asked to work in groups before. If they have worked in groups in previous courses, they may have had bad experiences that color their reaction to group work in your course. They may have never had the resources and support to make group assignments and projects a compelling experience.

One of the most important things you can do as an instructor is to consider all of the skills that go into working in groups and to design your activities and assignments with an eye towards developing those skills.

In a group assignment, students may be asked to break down a project into steps, plan strategy, organize their time, and coordinate efforts in the context of a group of people they may have never met before.

Consider these ideas to help your students learn group work skills in your course.

  • Give a short survey to your class about their previous work in groups to gauge areas where they might need help: ask about what they liked best and least about group work, dynamics of groups they have worked in, time management, communication skills or other areas important in the assignment you are designing.
  • Allow time in class for students in groups to get to know each other. This can be a simple as brief introductions, an in-class active learning activity or the drafting of a team charter.
  • Based on the activity you are designing and the skills that would be involved in working as a group, assemble some links to web resources that students can draw on for more information, such as sites that explain how to delegate and share responsibilities, conflict resolution, or planning a project and time management. You can also address these issues in class with the students.
  • Have a plan for clarifying questions or possible problems that may emerge with an assignment or project.   Are there ways you can ask questions or get draft material to spot areas where students are having difficulty understanding the assignment or having difficulty with group dynamics that might impact the work later?

Designing the assignment or project

The actual design of the class activity or project can help the students transition into group work processes and gain confidence with the skills involved in group dynamics.   When designing your assignment, consider these ideas.

  • Break the assignment down into steps or stages to help students become familiar with the process of planning the project as a group.
  • Suggest roles for participants in each group to encourage building expertise and expertise and to illustrate ways to divide responsibility for the work.
  • Use interim drafts for longer projects to help students manage their time and goals and spot early problems with group projects.
  • Limit their resources (such as giving them material to work with or certain subsets of information) to encourage more close cooperation.
  • Encourage diversity in groups to spread experience and skill levels and to get students to work with colleagues in the course who they may not know.

Promote individual responsibility

Students always worry about how the performance of other students in a group project might impact their grade. A way to allay those fears is to build individual responsibility into both the course grade and the logistics of group work.

  • Build “slack days” into the course. Allow a prearranged number of days when individuals can step away from group work to focus on other classes or campus events. Individual students claim “slack days” in advance, informing both the members of their group and the instructor. Encourage students to work out how the group members will deal with conflicting dates if more than one student in a group wants to claim the same dates.
  • Combine a group grade with an individual grade for independent write-ups, journal entries, and reflections.
  • Have students assess their fellow group members. Teammates is an online application that can automate this process.
  • If you are having students assume roles in group class activities and projects, have them change roles in different parts of the class or project so that one student isn’t “stuck” doing one task for the group.

Gather feedback

To improve your group class activities and assignments, gather reflective feedback from students on what is and isn’t working. You can also share good feedback with future classes to help them understand the value of the activities they’re working on in groups.

  • For in-class activities, have students jot down thoughts at the end of class on a notecard for you to review.
  • At the end of a larger project, or at key points when you have them submit drafts, ask the students for an “assignment wrapper”—a short reflection on the assignment or short answers to a series of questions.

Are you working with a group for a certain project in school or your organization? Working with a group can be burdensome for some, especially for people who prefer to work alone on a task or project, but if your work involves working with your peers, you can always expect to work with groups whether you like it or not. To avoid any clashes or frustrations with your group members that may put tension and unease with every member and make it hard to work efficiently, a group assignment contract is essential to help create an open and respectful environment for your members to work together comfortably and they can freely share their ideas and opinions without getting ostracized. The contract can also help you be more effective in your group work and even tolerate the fact that you’re dealing and working with people.

What is a Group Assignment Contract?

A group assignment contract simply called a group agreement or group contract is a written document that a particular group makes to officialize the expectations of group members . The contract can increase productivity and a good working experience for every member since they already know their roles and the tasks they need to do and accomplish and at the same time, respect other members and their roles as well.

Details to Include in a Group Assignment Contract

Making a group assignment contract may vary to what type of group you have, what activities you’re assigned to do, what organization you belong to, and what terms and conditions you agree to comply with. However, the details below should be present in your contract to ensure that it is written well and it contains all important details for your group members to agree on and use as a basis on how they will function well in the group.

  • All group members’ names and their contact information
  • Expectations:  Also known as ground rules, these should be included to help members prepare themselves for the group work. You can include attendance, communication, meetings , behavior, tasks, and responsibilities to include in the ground rules. You can aim around five to seven ground rules.
  • Assignment: This is now where you will assign specific tasks, roles , and responsibilities to every member that they are expected to follow and accomplish on a certain due date. If you’re not sure how to assign the tasks, you can itemize them first depending on which priority level they have and provide a space for each group member to volunteer to do the tasks.
  • Problem resolution: Outline a specific process for dealing with unmet expectations or other concerns that might arise within the group. Make sure this process will deescalate the problem.
  • Feedback: Provide a method on how each member will provide  peer feedback while working throughout the tasks or projects you are all working on so any concerns or problems will be addressed before you complete any responsibilities you have. You can also ask the group members to present progress reports to know any updates of each member that has completed or working on.
  • Signature line:  Provide lines where each group member can sign indicating their agreement to the contract.

Why do groups need rules?

Groups need to have rules to avoid frustrations and misunderstandings by setting clear expectations of each other. They can be honest with what they want and expect to have and to do and they can also contribute their recommendations to enhance the group.

What are the benefits of creating a group contract?

There are a lot of benefits in forming groups, especially when they are tasked with working and learning together. The benefits are:

  • It helps identify everyone’s expectations of one another and in return, they can communicate these expectations with each other.
  • Increase a sense of community once they get to know and work with each other.
  • It enhances deeper learning and strong information retention for members through teamwork.

What are some examples of group tasks?

Some examples of tasks that can be done by a group are:

  • Ranking discussions
  • Puzzle activities
  • Project workgroup
  • Group writing tasks

Once you’re done writing the contract, make sure to discuss it with your group members first before you finalize it. Welcome their questions and recommendations for the contract and write them down so you can revise them later. You must make sure that everyone is happy with the contents of the contract and nobody should feel that they are forced to agree on terms they didn’t give their approval freely.

A group project is a cooperative learning assignment that requires students to work with peer group members to plan, discuss, and complete a specific project, often over the course of an entire semester. The project can be a research paper, an in-class oral presentation, an out-of-class study project, or research contributed as part of a larger class project involving multiple student groups . The purpose is to prepare students to work collaboratively in order to develop the intellectual and social skills needed to examine research problems from a variety of perspectives, to communicate effectively with their peers, and to evaluate and resolve issues on their own with support from other group members.

Benefits of Group Work

As stressful as it can be, group work can actually be beneficial in the long run because it closely parallels the dynamics of serving on a committee, participating in a task force, or working on a collaborative project found in most professional workplace settings. Whatever form the group assignment takes in your course, the opportunity to work with others, rather than on your own, can provide distinct benefits. These include:

  • Increased productivity and performance -- groups that work well together can achieve much more than individuals working on their own. A broader range of skills can be applied to practical activities and the process of sharing and discussing ideas can play a pivotal role in deepening your understanding of the research problem. This process also enhances opportunities for applying strategies of critical inquiry and creative or radical problem-solving to an issue.
  • Skills development -- being part of a team will help you develop your interpersonal skills. This can include expressing your ideas clearly, listening carefully to others, participating effectively in group deliberations, and clearly articulating to group members t he results of your research . Group work can also help develop collaborative skills, such as, team-based leadership and effectively motivating others. These skills will be useful throughout your academic career and all are highly sought after by employers.
  • Knowing more about yourself -- working with others will help identify your own strengths and weaknesses in a collaborative context. For example, you may be a better leader than listener, or, you might be good at coming up with the 'big idea' but not so good at developing a specific plan of action. Enhanced self-awareness about the challenges you may have in working with others will enhance overall learning experiences. Here again, this sense about yourself will be invaluable when you enter the workforce.

Stages of Group Work

I.  Getting Started

To ensure that your group gets off to a good start, it may be beneficial to:

  • Take time for all members to introduce themselves, including name, background, and stating specific strengths in contributing to the overall goals of the assignment.
  • Nominate or vote to have someone act as the group leader or facilitator or scheduler. If the burden might be too great, consider deciding to rotate this responsibility among all group members.
  • Exchange current contact information, such as, email addresses, social media information, and cell phone numbers.
  • Consider creating an online workspace account to facilitate discussions, editing documents, sharing files, exchanging ideas, and to manage a group calendar. There are many free online platforms available for this type of work such as Google docs.

II.  Discussing Goals and Tasks

After you and the other members of the group agree about how to approach the assignment, take time to make sure everyone understands what it is they will need to achieve. Consider the following:

  • What are the goals of the assignment? Develop a shared understanding of the assignment's expected learning outcomes to ensure that everyone knows what their role is supposed to be within the group.
  • Note when the assignment is due [or when each part is due] so that everyone is on the same schedule and any potential conflicts with assignment due dates in other classes can be addressed ahead of time by each members of the group.
  • Discuss how you are going to specifically meet the requirements of the assignment. For example, if the assignment is to write a sample research grant, what topic are you going to research and what organizations would you solicit funding from?
  • If your professor allows considerable flexibility in pursuing the goals of the assignment, it often helps to brainstorm a number of ideas and then assess the merits of each one separately. As a group, reflect upon the following questions: How much do you know about this topic already? Is the topic interesting to everyone? If it is not interesting to some, they may not be motivated to work as hard as they might on a topic they found interesting. Can you do a good job on this topic in the available time? With the available people? With the available resources? How easy or hard would it be to obtain good information on the topic? [ NOTE:   Consult with a librarian before assuming that information may be too difficult to find!].

III.  Planning and Preparation

This is the stage when your group should plan exactly what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and determine who should do what. Pay attention to the following:

  • Work together to break the project up into separate tasks and decide on the tasks or sub-tasks each member is responsible for. Make sure that work is equally distributed among each member of the group.
  • Agree on the due-dates for completing each task, keeping in mind that members will need time to review any draft documents and the group must have time at the end to pull everything together.
  • Develop mechanisms for keeping in touch, meeting periodically, and the preferred methods for sharing information. Discuss and identify any potential stumbling blocks that may arise that could hinder your work [e.g., mid-terms].

NOTE:   Try to achieve steps 1, 2, and 3 in a group meeting that is scheduled as soon as possible after you have received the assignment and your group has been formed. The sooner these preliminary tasks are agreed upon, the sooner each group member can focus on their particular responsibilities.

IV.  Implementation

While each member carries out their individual tasks, it is important to preserve your group's focus and sense of purpose. Effective communication is vital, particularly when your group activity extends over an extended period of time. Here are some tips to promote good communication:

  • Keep in touch with each other frequently, reporting progress regularly. When the group meets for the first time, think about about setting up a regular day and time for people to report on their progress [either in-person or online].
  • If someone is having trouble completing his or her area of responsibility, work with that person to figure out how to solve the problem. Be supportive and helpful, but don't offer to do other people's work.
  • At the same time, make it clear that the group is depending on everyone to do their part; all group members should agree that it is detrimental to everyone in the group for one person to show up at the last minute without his or her work done.

V.  Finishing Up

Be sure to leave enough time to put all the pieces together before the group project is due and to make sure nothing has been forgotten [e.g., someone forgot to correct a chart or a page is missing]. Synthesizing each group member's work usually requires some negotiation and, collectively, overcoming any existing obstacles towards completion. Technically, this can be done online, but it is better to meet in person to ensure that everyone is actively involved in the process.

If your group has to give a presentation about the results of their research, go through the same process--decide who is going to do what and give everyone enough time to prepare and practice ahead of time [preferably together]. At this point before the assignment is due, it is vital to ensure that you pay particular attention to detail, tie up any loose ends, and review the research project together as a team rather than just looking over individual contributions.

VI.  Writing Up Your Project

Writing the group report can be challenging; it is critical that you leave enough time for this final stage. If your group decided to divide responsibility for drafting sections, you will need to nominate a member of the group [if not done so already] to bring everything together so that the narrative flows well and isn't disjointed. Make it their assignment rather than assigning that person to also write a section of the report. It is best to choose whomever in your group is the best writer because careful copy editing at this stage is essential to ensure that the final document is well organized and logically structured.

Focus on the following:

  • Have all the writers in your group use the same writing style [e.g., verb tense, diction or word choice, tone, voice, etc.]?
  • Are there smooth transitions between individual sections?
  • Are the citations to sources, abbreviations, and non-textual elements [charts, graphs, tables, etc.] consistent?

Meeting Places

Where Your Group Meets Matters!

Choosing where to you meet can have as much of an impact on your group's overall success as how well you communicate and work together. When your group is first formed, be sure to set aside some time to discuss and come to an agreement about where to meet in the future. Obviously, convenience has a lot to do with your possible choices. However, discussions of where to meet should also focus on identifying a space that's comfortable, easily accessible to everyone, and does not have any distractions, such as, the smell of food from nearby, heavy foot traffic, or constant noise,

Places that meet all of these conditions are the collaborative workrooms in the East Asian Library of Doheny or the group study spaces in the Lower Computer Commons of Leavey Library or on the second floor of Leavey Library. These rooms can seat anywhere from 4 to 10 people and all have dry erase boards and power and network connectivity. Most rooms also have large monitors with laptop connections that your group can use to display a presentation, document, spreadsheet, or other information that is the focus of your collaborative work. Note that these rooms are very popular, especially towards the end of the semester, so schedule early and be courteous in promptly cancelling your reservation so others may use the room. Finally, if everyone agrees that meeting in person is not crucial, a meeting to discuss the group's activities can be conducted over Zoom or other video conferencing platform.

Eberly Center

Teaching excellence & educational innovation, how can i assess group work.

All of the principles of assessment that apply to individual work apply to group work as well. Assessing group work has added challenges, however. 

First, depending on the objectives of the assignment, the instructor might want to assess the team’s final product (e.g., design, report, presentation), their group processes (e.g., ability to meet deadlines, contribute fairly, communicate effectively), or both. Second, group performance must be translated into individual grades – which raises issues of fairness and equity. Complicating both these issues is the fact that neither group processes nor individual contribution are necessarily apparent in the final product.

Thus, in addition to evaluating the group’s output, instructors may need to find ways to determine how groups functioned and the extent to which individuals contributed to the effort. This isn’t always easy, but these general principles can guide you, and the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence can help you find and implement the right approach for your goals and context.

Assess individual, as well as group, learning and performance.

Assess process as well as product..

  • Make your assessment criteria and grading scheme clear .

Find samples of group project assessment tools here...

Diligent students can be profoundly demotivated by group projects if they feel that their own success is dependent on team members who don’t do their share. One way to counteract the motivational hazards of group projects is to assess individual students’ learning and performance in addition to the group’s output. This strategy gives diligent students a greater sense of fairness and control and discourages free ridership. 

Individual learning and performance can be assessed in any number of ways. Some instructors add an individual component to group projects (e.g., a short essay, journal entries); some combine a group project with an individual test or quiz. Both group and individual performance are then reflected in the total project grade (e.g., some faculty members make the group grade worth 50% and the individual grade worth 50%; others split it 80%/20%. There’s no perfect breakdown, but the grading scheme should (a) reflect your goals for student learning and (b) seek to motivate the kind of work you want to see.)

Professor Solomon asks student groups to research a famous anthropological controversy, and give an oral presentation analyzing the issues, positions, and people involved. She assigns a group grade for the presentation, but also requires all the team members to write a short, individual paper summarizing what they learned from the assignment and what they contributed to the team. If the individual piece demonstrates a poor understanding of the material or a low level of participation in the group, she reserves the right to lower the individual’s grade by a full letter grade. If it is particularly informed, thorough, or demonstrates an exceptionally high contribution to the team, she raises the individual’s grade by a full letter grade.

If developing teamwork skills is one of your learning objectives for the course, it’s important to assess students’ progress toward that goal. In other words, you should assess process (how students work) as well as product (the work they produce).

Process can be assessed according to a number of dimensions, such as the ability to generate a range of ideas, listen respectfully to disparate perspectives, distribute work fairly, resolve differences, and communicate effectively. Since instructors don’t always have a direct window into the dynamics of student groups, they often rely on teams to self-report via:

  • team evaluations: each member of the team evaluates the dynamics of the team as a whole.
  • peer evaluations: each team member evaluates the contributions of his/her teammates. 
  • self-evaluations: each team member documents and evaluates his own contributions to the team.
  • Find samples of evaluations here...

These assessments can be quantitative or qualitative. They can be done as reflective writing assignments or as questionnaires targeting specific dimensions of teamwork. Think about which tools suit your purpose and context. Also give some thought to when you’ll use them (in the middle of the semester? at the end? both?), who should see them (just you? other team members?), and whether or not they should be anonymous. The Eberly Center can help you find, adapt, or create the right tool and determine how to use it to best effect.

Remember, too, that process assessments are subjective and students are not always straightforward when evaluating one another or themselves. However, in combination with product assessments and individual assessments, they can offer valuable glimpses into how teams function and alert you to major problems (e.g., particularly problematic team members or serious conflict), which can help to inform your feedback and grading.

Professor Montoya assigns a multi-stage information systems project where students work together in teams over much of the semester. Over the course of the semester, he periodically asks students to evaluate both the dynamics of the team as a whole and their own contributions, and to reflect on ways to improve both as the project continues. At the end of the project, he asks students to complete a peer evaluation for every member of their team, indicating each member’s contribution to the group. Professor Montoya’s total grade for the project combines a group grade (75%) and an individual grade (25%). The individual grade is based, in equal parts, on how each student’s teammates evaluated his contribution to the group and on the quality of the feedback he provided to them.

Make your assessment criteria and grading scheme clear.

It’s always important to articulate your performance criteria so students understand your expectations and standards. This is especially true if you are emphasizing skills that are not usually assessed, such as the ability to resolve conflict, delegate tasks, etc. Criteria for evaluating both product and process can be communicated by giving students a group work rubric ( pdf ) before they begin their work and then using it to provide meaningful feedback during and at the end of the project. 

It’s also important to think about how you will weigh the various components of group projects in your grading scheme. Some questions to consider include:

  • What percentage of the student’s total project grade will be based on the group’s performance vs. individual components? 
  • What percentage will be based on assessments of product vs. assessments of process? 
  • How much weight will you give to peer evaluations or self-evaluations? 
  • Will feedback from external clients also be incorporated into your assessment of the group’s work? If so, what sorts of feedback will you solicit: feedback on product (e.g., Does it work? Is it a good solution/design?), feedback on process (e.g., Did the group communicate effectively with the client? Did it meet deadlines?), or both?

A number of dimensions of group work can factor, either formally or informally, into a student’s grade. What’s important is to think about what dimensions of student performance matter to you and how your grading criteria and the weighting of assessment components can help motivate the behaviors you want to see. Finally, it’s critical to clearly communicate your grading scheme to students.

Center for Teaching Innovation

Ideas for group & collaborative assignments, why collaborative learning.

Collaborative learning can help

  • students develop higher-level thinking, communication, self-management, and leadership skills
  • explore a broad range of perspectives and provide opportunities for student voices/expression
  • promote teamwork skills & ethics
  • prepare students for real life social and employment situations
  • increase student retention, self-esteem, and responsibility

Collaborative activities & tools

Group brainstorming & investigation in shared documents.

Have students work together to investigate or brainstorm a question in a shared document (e.g., structured Google doc, Google slide, or sheet) or an online whiteboard, and report their findings back to the class.

  • Immediate view of contributions
  • Synchronous & asynchronous group work
  • Students can come back to the shared document to revise, re-use, or add information
  • Google workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Forms, & Slides)
  • Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams)
  • Cornell Box (document storage)
  • Whiteboarding tools ( Zoom , JamBoard , Miro , Mural , etc.)

Considerations

  • Sharing settings
  • Global access
  • Accessibility

Group discussions with video conferencing and chat

Ask students to post an answer to a question or share their thoughts about class content in the Zoom chat window (best for smaller classes). For large classes, ask students in Zoom breakout rooms to choose a group notetaker to post group discussion notes in the chat window after returning to the main class session.

You can also use a discussion board for asynchronous group work.

  • Students can post their reflections in real time and read/share responses
  • If group work is organized asynchronously, students can come back to the discussion board at their own time

Synchronous group work:

  • Zoom Breakout rooms
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Canvas Conferences
  • Canvas Group Discussions
  • Ed Discussion
  • Stable access to WiFi and its bandwidth
  • Clear expectations about participation and pace for asynchronous discussion boards
  • Monitoring discussion boards

Group projects: creation

Students retrieve and synthesize information by collaborating with their peers to create something new: a written piece, an infographic, a piece of code, or students collectively respond to sample test questions.

  • Group projects may benefit from features offered by shared online space (ability to chat, do video conferencing, share files and links, post announcements and discussion threads, and build content)
  • Canvas groups with all available tools

Setting up groups and group projects for success may require the following steps:

  • Introduce group or peer work early in the semester
  • Establishing ground rules for participation
  • Plan for each step of group work
  • Explain how groups will function and the grading

Peer learning, critiquing, giving feedback

Students submit their first draft of an essay, research proposal, or a design, and the submitted work is distributed for peer review. If students work on a project in teams, they can check in with each other through a group member evaluation activity. Students can also build on each other’s knowledge and understanding of the topic in Zoom breakout room discussions or by sharing and responding in an online discussion board.

When providing feedback and critiquing, students have to apply their knowledge, problem-solving skills, and develop feedback literacy. Students also engage more deeply with the assignment requirements and/or the rubric.

  • FeedbackFruits Peer Review and Group Member Evaluation
  • Canvas Peer Review
  • Turnitin PeerMark
  • Zoom breakout rooms
  • Canvas discussions, and other discussion tools
  • Peer review is a multistep activity and may require careful design and consideration of requirements to help students achieve the learning outcomes. The assignment requirements will inform which platform is best to use and the best settings for the assignment
  • We advise making the first peer review activity a low-stakes assignment for the students to get used to the platform and the flow.
  • A carefully written rubric helps guide students through the process of giving feedback and yields more constructive feedback.
  • It helps when the timing for the activity is generous, so students have enough time to first submit their work and then give feedback.

Group reflection & social annotation activities

Students can annotate, highlight, discuss, and collaborate on text documents, images, video, audio, and websites. Instructors can post guiding questions for students to respond to, and allow students to post their own questions to be answered by peers. This is a great reading activity leading up to an inperson discussion.

  • Posing discussion topics and/or questions for students to answer as they read a paper
  • Students can collaboratively read and annotate synchronously and asynchronously
  • Collaborative annotation helps students to acknowledge some parts of reading that they could have neglected otherwise
  • Annotating in small groups
  • FeedbackFruits
  • Interactive Media (annotations on document, video, and audio)
  • Providing students with thorough instructions
  • These are all third-party tools, so the settings should be selected thoughtfully
  • Accessibility (Perusall)

Group learning with polling and team competitions

Instructors can poll students while they are in breakout rooms using Poll Everywhere. This activity is great for checking understanding and peer learning activities, as students will be able to discuss solutions.

  • Students can share screen in a breakout room and/or answer questions together
  • This activity can be facilitated as a competition among teams
  • Poll Everywhere competitions, surveys, and polls facilitated in breakout rooms
  • Careful construction of questions for students
  • Students may need to be taught how to answer online questions
  • It requires appropriate internet connection and can experience delays in response summaries.

Example Group Assignments

  • Divide students into teams, designating one student as a leader. Have the students apply course concepts to solving a problem and report back to the class. Other groups or students are encouraged to comment on the final solutions of other teams. 2  
  • Students complete an assignment that will be assessed by their peers. This is an effective learning assessment tool when there are no right or wrong answers and when several methods can be used to solve a problem.  
  • Students complete a draft of an essay or an oral report, then have peers critique and edit.  It’s valuable to have the assessment rubric available to use as an editing guide. 1
  • Students read assigned material and come up with questions reflective of their reading. They can post their questions to a designated Blackboard discussion thread, and work on answering the questions individually or in groups. The instructor monitors, redirects, settles disputes, or adds comment to lead the discussion in a new direction or positively reinforce students.  
  • Use the jigsaw for complex problem solving. First, separate students into expert groups. Each group is assigned a different piece of the concept to present to the class. In the expert group, the students work on ways to present their piece to the larger class so the class understands the concept. The students teach the class the concept. Assess learning through peer review or individual quizzes. This activity ensures individual responsibility while using collaborative learning. 1
  • Students describe someone they admire in their field, contact and interview this person. The assignment is structured so the student learns how to make contacts and report back on their experiences. On a more simple level, students could network with other students in their class to practice networking and learn about what other experiences students are bringing to the class.  
  • Wikis help streamline group projects by allowing students to collaborate seamlessly while providing the instructor with a digital footprint of each group member who contributed to the project.

Presentation Assignment Examples

Presentations enable students to practice their verbal communication skills. Students ‘become the professional' by sharing a project, lesson plan, interpretation, etc. with the class. Some instructors schedule presentations the last few weeks of the semester. Others spread them throughout the semester.

Many instructors prefer collaborative presentations, which consist of groups sharing responsibilities. From experience with groups, many instructors advise assigning individuals within groups specific duties or a confidential and brief evaluation paper explaining the group's conduct and struggles to allow students to comment on distribution of the workload and attempts at communicating with other group members. Group presentations make a strong alternative to a traditional final exam, and it is less grading for the instructor.

6 Group Project Report Examples in PDF

When you think about project reports , you think about what should be in them. The majority of people know for a fact that group projects do come with paperwork. Students, employees, businessmen, and women know that group projects will always come with a specific type of paperwork. The kind of paperwork they need to do is a project report. Since this is a group project, their report will also be a group project report. To get a good idea of what a group report is all about, let’s go and get a good look at the examples below.

What Is a Group Project Report?

A group project report is a type of document and a type of report that serves the purpose of explaining the summary progress of the project that is given to the group. To get a better picture of a group project report, you can also check on a monthly status report .
