大学往往让学生通过TEAM WORK完成PROJECT,然后给TEAM MEMBER打上同样的分数,你觉得这样好吗? Advantages: 1 save time for those who are not interested 2 develop a sense of team spirit, learn from each other 3 easier to evaluate Shortcomings: 1 容易影响部分人的积极性,增长一些的惰性,他们自己也没有进步 2 这样样的结果会导致整体工作效率低下, 3从管理人员来说不利于对每个个体的表现进行一个很客观的evaluation,不利于设立奖励惩罚机制
357 Words In university students are often assigned team projects in which they are required to work in teams. Scoring methods may vary from project to project. Some projects are evaluated in such a way that team members from the same team get the same score, while some are scored according to individual performance. There are many other scoring methods. Different people hold different opinions toward them. For me, I am not in favor of the same-score-for-every-teammate method.
First, assume everyone on a team is given the same grade, no one gets benefit. For those who work their butts off, this is unfair and will discourage them from working hard and learning relevant knowledge. For the disinterested, this will encourage them keeping contributing nothing to the team and prevent them from any progress for themselves. As a result, the seemingly team-building scoring method for a teacher prove detrimental for every student’s development.
Second, if no one is willing to contribute to the project, the whole team and even the entire class becomes inefficient and stagnant in the project status, not to mention to achieve noticeable fruits. Therefore, the teacher’s task remains unfinished, teaching strategy undemonstrated, and work archive impossible to complete. This may even ruin the school’s reputation since it makes everyone looks guilty and lazy.
Third, due to the different performance of each individual, the teacher does not have a objective view of each student’s studying capability and practical skills. It will impede the teacher from tailoring their way of teaching to the needs of each student and thus affect the overall education quality negatively. It will also not conduce to building a incentive system in order to increase overall competition.
Unlike any scoring method, I believe, instead, an integrated scoring method in which each team player should be graded by both team performance and individual performance, is the best. For example, we can make team performance accounts for 40% of overall grade and the latter accounts for the left 60%. Only in this way, fostering of team work is emphasized without the cost of overall fairness, competition and everyone’s vitality and willingness to contribute and to learn. Phrases: assign sb sth conduce to sth increase competition
