Group Work Non-Contribution Procedure

Group Work Non-Contribution Procedure and Policy

Non-contribution can be defined as a lack of engagement or meaningful input to the task by one or more members of a group. The purpose of the WBS non-contribution procedure is to provide a fair opportunity for non-contributing students to re-engage with their group and make a meaningful contribution to the project in sufficient time before completion.

The Undergraduate team will work with the Module Leader to investigate your concerns set out in this form. Please ensure you have contacted your Module Leader in the first instance and before the deadline for raising issues of non-contribution as set out for your Group Work project (there is a post stating the deadline on the module page). Non-contribution reports raised after the deadline will not be considered as there is insufficient time for the case to be investigated and allow the student to re-engage with the group project. Once you have filled in this form, please continue to reach out to the non-contributing group member whilst we look into your concerns.

Student’s considered as non-participating by the group or Module Leader will be given the opportunity to provide evidence of their contribution or a clear reason for non-contribution. If a student fails to contribute in any meaningful way with the group task, your Module Leader has the discretion to remove them completely from the group. Removed students will forfeit the group component (i.e. receive a zero mark for this assessment component).
