Abstract

This paper presents the findings of a study on group work assessment techniques within the context of a computer science project. We argue that diversification of group work assessment methods supports more open and fair assessment criteria, and that this divergence adds value to the process by maximising student responsibility for learning. Furthermore this diversification can also help to tackle the long-standing issues of plagiarism and collusion, which are often manifested within group work assessment.
