[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son, who’s doing well in college and in a sociology class, called to complain that the other members of his sociology class group have agreed on what he feels is a dumb, somewhat offensive approach to a group project. (The project is a video about an issue in Spain, the team members picked the topic, none of the group members is Spanish, and [b]the video includes humor based on stereotypical ideas about Spain.[/b])

My son doesn’t know if he’ll get to do a post-project assessment.

I didn’t know what to tell him. I never felt good about how I handled a group project.

In cases like this, would faculty members prefer that:

A. Students keep their mouths shut and be loyal to the group, even if the group is displeasing.

B. Ask for the chance to do a post-project assessment.

C. Submit the project, along with a separate note about their concerns.[/quote]

Depending on how offensive, it may not be something that they want to be associated with, especially if it's on video[/quote]
