Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The individual grading of each student's contribution to the group project is an attempt to reduce social loafing, which is the tendency of individuals to exert less effort in a group setting than they would if working alone. By individually grading each student, they will be held accountable for their own effort and contribution to the project, which should reduce their tendency to engage in social loafing.
