Group projects are widely used in software engineering courses. With group projects come issues of group management and individual student assessment. At the University of Mary Washington, a different approach to group composition and management was used in a semester-long undergraduate software engineering course. In this approach, the student composition of each group changes at each phase of the software lifecycle. This approach offered several advantages including increased fairness in group composition, more honest peer assessments, and lower risk of group failure. In addition, this approach modeled the software development environment seen in the real-world. The details of the software engineering course and dynamic group element are described in this paper along with reactions from students and the instructor.
