"Should i be nice and give passing grades to students who did not participate enough in the group projects? and Why?"

I think it would be fair enough to give grades base on the student's contribution, participation and attendance on the group projects.



Should you be nice?

Maybe Yes.
Why? Maybe they are busy with something else - acads, orgs, family, friends, lovelife.
Maybe some weren't receiving any messages since they are not member of Nicenet.

Maybe Not.
Why Not? Everyone is busy with something else - acads, orgs, family, friends, lovelife.
They should have the initiative to text their group leaders.


But definitely not to those who have contributed nothing.
