How can it play out if a student chooses to act passive or split from his/her group? Or vice versa if the group decides to leave a student who is not participating?
Please see the outlines below.
If a group member chooses not to participate in the group work and contribute to the final assignment/project
- can continue on their own and submit without the non-participating student. This does not call for an exemption, since the remaining group is allowed to participate in the exam.
- must submit their written work and are examined and assessed on the basis of this.
- must NOT set the name of the non-participating student on the assignment. But, if the student contributed to parts of the assignment, it is adviced to refer to it in the source reference.
- Can submit an individual assignment at the re-exam if the re-exam is set as an individual exam.
What if the re-exam is a group exam?
If the re-exam is a group exam the student cannot just submit individually for the re-exam.
Therefore it means the student who did not submit with his or her group will fail the re-exam and have to register for the course again.
Then for the third exam attempt the student needs to attend with his or her new group (if the exam format hasn't changed).
To avoid plagiarism, please beware of the formalities of source references and correct citation if you use material written by other students, or material of your own that has been used in another group submission.
