What grading system should be used to evaluate the group
projects?
Problem-Solving in Groups
1st Define the Issue or Problem
• Identify problem and specify symptoms of problem
• Gather info on size and scope of the problem
• Research the seriousness, urgency,implications of the
problem.
• Look for causes and underlying conditions of the
problem

Problem-Solving in Groups
2nd Consider Goals and Constraints
• Identify criteria for successful achievement of goals
• Rank-order the criteria in importance
• Which criteria MUST BE MET vs less important.
• Refine goals, based on criteria, to be satisfactory
Group Project Criteria
• Peer Evaluation (20%)
• Identification of Problem (20%)
• Documentation of steps to solve (20%)
• How well did group meet established timetable / accomplish tasks (20%)
• Presentation of Project (20%)
Problem-Solving in Groups
3rd Brainstorm Solutions• The more ideas the better-QUANTITY!
• All ideas are Welcome!
• No criticism–All ideas are AWESOME BABY!
• Use someone else’s ideas as a springboard for additional ideas or thoughts!
Problem-Solving in Groups
4th Evaluate Possible Solutions• Assign and “A” to the best one-third of ideas
• Assign a “C” to the least usable one-third
• Middle one-third automatically receives a B
• Go back to B’s and separate into A’s or C’s.
• Prioritize A’s in terms of importance/urgency
Problem-Solving in Groups
5th reach a Consensus• Does everyone agree this is the best solution?
• What concerns / issues does anyone is group have.?
• Can everyone “LIVE” with this solution?
Problem-Solving in Groups
6th Plan Implementation of Solution
• Develop a procedure for implementing solution with a timetable
• Is it achievable? Implementable? Too expensive? Too Long?
• Does Solution accomplish goals.
• Implement ongoing evaluation plan that occurs at regular intervals
Problem-Solving in Groups
1st - Define the issue or problem
2nd - Consider the goals to be achieved and constraints on the goals
3rd - Generate possible solutions (Brainstorming)
4th - Evaluate possible solutions
5th - Reach a consensus on solution.
6th - Plan implementation of solution
Cautions
• Do NOT vote (winners and losers)
• Avoid early, quick, easy compromises / agreements
• Reach the point when “ it may not be exactly what I want, but at least I can live with this decision and support it”.
• Treat differences of opinion as a way of: • Gathering additional info
• Clarifying issues
• Forcing the group to seek better alternatives
Caution
Do Not compete internally. Work for welfare of group!
