When we return the folders with the scores I include a list of the scores
of all members of the group, but they are in a list in random order so
there is no way to trace those numbers to a name. Obviously in a 5-7
member group, some people will likely be able to figure out some of their
team-mates scores, but it is never available. An example of what I turn back:
Maximum score for RAT 1: 12 points
Individual RAT scores for RAT 1: 12, 10, 6, 10, 11, 8, 7
Ind. RAT average for the group for RAT 1: 9.1
Ind. RAT average for the class for RAT 1: 10.4
Group RAT score for RAT 1: 11
Group RAT average for the class for RAT 1: 11.5
With this information the groups can compare themselves with the rest of
the class and know pretty much where they stand.
