I am giving them each essentially a participation grade for having been there on the day of the activity, then using peer evaluations to help balance the group grades, if that makes sense! - I think their peers will give a good accounting of their work.

Not everyone grades their application projects, but for those who do, rubrics are a VERY good way to go.  :-)

I recently discovered this awesome, super-practical book about how to cook up good rubrics:

Introduction to Rubrics, by Stevens and Levi
http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Rubrics-Assessment-Effective-Feedback/dp/1579221157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281369966&sr=8-1

Highly recommended!

Jennifer, I require my teams to support their decisions with facts from research or the textbook. I also require them to associate their decisions with one of the major theories of the discipline. This is what I grade them on. They also share some of their facts and theories with the class during the fishbowl (executive council) discussion.
