Nowadays many high schools and universities require students to work on projects in groups, and all members of the group receive the same grade (mark) on the project. Do you agree or disagree that giving every member of a group the same grade is a good way to evaluate students? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples.

things they do not know. It is
therefore
very critical to understand whether marking
students
with the same grade is the right way or not. Some may argue that all members of a
group
should be graded equally, but some think
otherwise
. From my perspective, I disagree with the statement and believe that each fellow should be monitored individually. I strongly feel
this
way for two main reasons, which I shall delve into in the following essay. To commence with, grading
students
in an equal way will negatively impact the student's learning process.
Instead
of learning from their mistakes,
one
may think that since he/she got the same grades, they would feel equivalent to others in the
group
.
This
,in turn, would cause them to misinterpret the areas they lack educationally.
For example
, I was part of a
group
, told to carry out a biology project for the class. We as a
group
did what we were asked and received similar grades.
One
day, during a surprise visit by the head professor, asked our teacher to demonstrate the biology projects. We got on with the explanation and halfway through he stopped us and corrected all our mistakes. Individualised grading is crucial so we do not repeat the same mistake again and learn from it.
Secondly
, most of the
students
would fail to understand the concept of hard
work
, if everyone in a
group
gets the same mark. In a
group
, there are two types of people,
one
is the hardworking
kind
and the second the lethargic, lazy
kind
. The hardworking
kind
will do most of the
work
wanting to score a perfect grade,
whereas
the lazy
kind
will depend on the former to complete their
work
too.
Such
kind
of sincerity to an assignment will definitely put more load on the former
group
of people. For a team to function efficiently, each member must provide adequately for the success of the
group
.
For example
, ants always go in
one
line, find food and each will load food back to its nest. Grading equally,
students
will never understand that with only hard
work
and sweat comes success in life. In conclusion, I believe that
students
be graded individually
,

so that they will understand their mistakes and know how hard
work
in life can
work
wonders.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
