-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Group Participation Rating Form
For this grade, you must accurately rate the preparedness and participation of your group members.
Studies show that in group work it is almost impossible for everyone to do the same amount of work. You
and your group members will lose points if you give all of your group members the same score. Rate
your group members according to the following scale:
Group member name
(first and last)
Prep work
done in
advance
0= weak
3= fair job
+ Discussion
0= little or no meaningful contribution
3 = average participation, average content
5= high participation, high quality content,
outstanding team focused effort
= Total points
(0 to 10 per
student)
4
7
5= well done
