Project courses involving teams of students present a serious challenge to fair grading of individual students. There is the possibility that some students put in an enormous amount of work and others try to get a good grade with little effort. As the advising faculty member is not with the team at all times, there may be many activities by the team that go unnoticed. The adviser has the continuous challenge to find out which students perform and which students do not perform. The advisers must have a selection of instruments at hand that allow for best possible fair grading of team members.
