Get Your Students Hired
I have found it very useful to utilize rubrics with group assginments when grading. Not only does this give students the information on what is expected in the group assignment, but it also explains in detail what is exptected from each member. Another useful piece of information that I've found helpful is letting each student complete an evaluation on each group member to ensure that each person actively participated in the group exercise.
groups help people 1. makes people interact with one another 2. helps student help each other and 3. makes for good learning

I teach medical courses. It is very beneficial to put students in groups to learn their terms and to do case studies.
Demelece,
I have utilized this process too & I completely agree that this is a great way to evaluate groups & help encourage more participation.
