When to use Project Group Generator

Allocate students among named project topics

Assign students to named, capacity-limited projects while spreading teacher-provided scores and repeated skills. Keep students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings visible while you allocate students among named project topics, then review the project group plan.

Spread repeated skills across project groups

For this case, set students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings, then choose “Assign project groups.” Check the project group plan before sharing or putting the result into use.

Check that project capacity covers every student

The Project Group Generator result still needs organizer review. Scores and skills are organizer-supplied inputs. The tool does not match personal preferences or evaluate student aptitude.

Troubleshooting

Checks before you assign project groups

Students cannot be used yet

When: Project Group Generator has no usable students, or an entry does not follow the format shown by that field.

Why: The tool needs valid students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings to produce the project group plan.

Try: In Project Group Generator, paste one complete student name per line; use any additional settings shown below the list; then assign project groups again.

Review required for project group plan

When: Scores and skills are organizer-supplied inputs.

Why: The tool evaluates students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings, but it cannot assess context outside those controls.

Try: Check the project group plan against this additional limit: the tool does not match personal preferences or evaluate student aptitude. Revise the visible settings in Project Group Generator when needed.

Why Project Group Generator keeps its setup visible

How the visible setup shapes the result

The tool applies project group rules only to students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings. Review those settings with the project group plan; the tool does not match personal preferences or evaluate student aptitude.

  • The visible setup—students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings—defines what can appear in the result.
  • Changing a setting may change the project group plan, so confirm the setup before running the tool.
  • The result still has this limit: scores and skills are organizer-supplied inputs.

What happens to inputs in Project Group Generator

The active inputs and project group plan remain with the open task. Random 42 does not save Project Group Generator work as an online project; refreshing or closing the tool clears that active work.

  • You can use Project Group Generator without an account or saved result history.
  • For “Allocate students among named project topics,” enter only the values represented by students, projects, students per project, and student balance settings; leave unrelated personal or sensitive information out.
