Individual Grading:

While cooperation and team work are key to this project, it is not uncommon for some group members to work to a lesser or to a greater degree than others. To address this concern, individual grades will be determined based on the total points earned by the group presentation, and on the individual paper. Each of these components is worth up to 50 points for a total of 100 points.
