Professor Rivera
Universities sometimes require students to complete group projects. Some instructors give every group member the same grade, while others include an individual component. Which approach is better for learning, and why?

Nina
A shared grade encourages cooperation. If everyone depends on the same result, students have a reason to help one another instead of protecting only their own work.

An individual component is fairer because contributions are not always equal. It also shows whether each student understands the project rather than relying on a stronger teammate.
