Hi Jarek, I teach a lot of group projects here at RIT. Peer evaluations is a huge element of being able to assess contributions. I also have groups keep everything in GitHub so that I can objectively see evidence of what they report in the peer evals. I then generally say that I “reserve the right” to adjust a student’s grade up or down based on the evals + my observations of their engagement in the project.
Catme.org is another great resource about peer evals and managing group work. --Erika Erika S.

I can also imagine a scenario where a group decides to split tasks to different individuals (and of course we cannot control what students would work on outside the class). So I think the answer to your question is mostly - but not entirely - in-class group work :-) This group work throughput the project is what assessment of is giving me headaches.

One question to clarify: Will the students work on the group projects only together during the class (thus creating a pair-/mob-programming-like situation) or also individually outside of class (and for example bringing completed subtask to the next time their group meets)? As I understand this now, I think the two different situations may have very different biases attached to the perception of individual contributions.
