I appriciate your realization..you can diverse your realization to your best friends as well as classmates..you can let them know, the consequences of not doing or participating actively in a group work..you can make a good environment for group work...do anything fair, where your group members will participate actively...then we can ensure
               "we are learning from world-class environment & we are pure Graduate"....

Dear Students,

When you get a group assignment it will be better to make segments of the whole assignment and distribute the whole work among all the members in the group. When submitting the Assignment let your teacher know of which part is done by whom. That can be a good way to deal with the situation.
Also requesting all the students to submit useful suggestion to deal with this situation rather than complaining about it. If the idea is effective I am sure authority will consider it and implement it as soon as possible.

@shah-al-Mamun

your Idea is well and you may know this is practicing in our university...but when,we make segments and assigns task to different members,first of all,they do not want to take and makes different arguments and requests..secondly, if the task is given separetely,many of them performs well and many of them can't perform well..for making a appropriate assignment, It requires accuracy in every part..

If the students do not want to take the segments the group leader may take help from the teacher to distribute the segments. You may also make a lottery to decide everyone's part which can make the process interesting.
When someone from the group fails to satisfy the teacher, it reflects one thing which is that student still need more counseling on that topic and the teacher will help on it. If everyone does good but actually learn nothing that is of no use. So if some student can not do good with their part its quite alright as they can learn from their mistake. Also adding that if anyone learn from their mistake that teaching stays longer does it not?

Actually,I am thinking some apart from others..

the tendency not to participate in group assignment comes from Incapability of the students...If our teachers assign only Individual assignment in first 2 or 3 semesters to get the students concerned and learned about all the aspects of making a sound assignment...after ensuring that all the students are able to prepare a sound assignment then our teachers can give group assignment...this matter can also be included into our foundation class where some lectures will be given how to make a sound assignment? how to make a good presentation slide?...then,our teachers can expect something good from the students..

Dear Mr. Habibur Rahman,

your idea is alright but it is very difficult to implement. Your idea requires a detail follow up on each students to keep track of which students got how many individual and group assignments.

However, yes we can think of including the guideline to prepare assignments properly and also include sessions on presentation in the foundation classes.

Dear shah-al-mamun

I know it is not so much easy to implement and our authority can not ensure that all the students will follow this...As we know if we want better output,we should make proper input...In fact,the system of assignment is following by students whether it is group or individual assignment...it just needs to more organized...

However,this is my point of view..our respectable authority can consider if they wish..

Dear Habib and all my students

It's a pity for us that, although group assignment and presentations are really very important for learning and for preparing yourselves for the future, most of the students are not being benefited by the way they are proceeding. Actually in case of group job their might have free rider problem and always there be. What can we (teachers) do is to introduce some techniques to catch the free-riders and marks will be allocated accordingly.

Students should preserve all the assignments done by them throughout the semesters as that may be very much helpful in crisis moment in future.

Dear All:
At first I want to give thanks to Mr. Habibur Rahman for beginning this issue. Group work is very much important for our career. We can differentiate from others by our group work. But it’s very true that most of the members of a group are not working as an active member.

We want tight marking system for group work/assignment.

You can say that we are failed to work in a group. Then my answer is yes we are failed for the sleep members. Now I ‘m in 3rd year and 3rd semester and my group members are still sleeping in my group.

If any students are getting marks as same as an active member then why s/he will works in a group………?

[habib742]

dear all

It seems very nice to have all of your participation on this topic also for valuable comments..actually,we are going through a traditional method..one member is working but rest of members are sleeping..why do we work for assignment??Assignment is the full review of the course we do for..It is the practical implementation of the course..

so,If someone fails to work in assignment or intentionally does not participate in the assignment then he fails to understand all the aspects of the course...so,it is quiet important to get all the students working in Assignment whether it is group or individual..
