Group-Based Assessments to Improve the Job-Readiness
Group-based assessments have been recognized as one of the ways of developing work-ready attributes in project management graduates. Tasks should be based on a real-world context and be sufficiently challenging for students. The group should create a team charter to establish expectations and ground rules for group members. Group assessments should include team member peer evaluations and oral presentations to curb social loafing.
