Group (assessment type)

An assessment approach under which candidates are grouped into 'teams' who are required to work together to meet the assessment outcomes, and in which all candidates receive the mark awarded to their team's outputs regardless of personal ability or effort. May be combined with elements of peer assessment in order to reward good individual performance or penalise poor individual performance, and candidates may also be evaluated by course staff on their contribution to the group.
