do NOT discuss answers.

sharing before arguing against answers. A different person should be asked to start each answer
sharing round. Keep the pace up, don’t let anyone dominate the time available.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Group Participation Rating Form
For this grade, you must accurately rate the preparedness and participation of your group members.
Studies show that in group projects it is almost impossible for everyone to do the same amount of work.
Your team will lose points if you give all group members the same score without written pre-approval.
Rate your group members according to the following scale. Show your rankings to the team.
