▶ Your Answer :
Today, many students got several group assignments
in their universities. Some people thinks that each group members have to get
same degree because they are team. However, in my opinion, I strongly disagree
with the above statement. There are two reasons why I think like that and I
will explain those two reasons in my essay.
First of all, some students work less than
other students. There are always free riders in team project, consequently
other students usually get stresses and a lot of tasks. If they get the equal
reward, the students who work hard will feel unfair, also their motivation will
decrease rapidly. For example, when I was a freshman, I got a group task on my
major course. The group was made up of seven people, but three of us did not
attend any process. The rest of team member was so upset, but we had to do all
tasks even the free-riders’ part. Finally we did a presentation well, but the
every team members got a same grade, and I felt that was so unfair.
Secondly, being given the equal grade does not
prepare students for the real world. Actually, in reality, people who don’t do
their part have to deal with the consequences. For example, in a sports team,
such as a baseball, best players get the highest salaries, and incapacity
players earn less payment or replaced. This is the real world and the students
should learn and prepare the reality; an incompetent person gets less reward.
If the students get the same grade even though they did not attend, they cannot
realize how the society it is.
To
sum up, the team project members should be given a different grade for two
reasons; to do not feel unfair, and to realize the society. To conclude, I
strongly disagree with the above statement. |
