Your group self-assessment procedure sounds intriguing, but I have a few
questions. Do you find that most often the group just divides the points
equally? How do they come to group consensus? How are disputes mediated when
one student isn't given the points he/she deserves? If you could provide
answers, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to try your system.
