Group Assignments Overview

Group Assignments allow students to make one electronic submission via HuskyCT on behalf of the group they are a member of. Once one student has submitted, all of the members of the group will be recorded as having submitted, and they can see the assignment they was submitted for the group, but, unless the instructor has allowed multiple attempts, they can’t make an additional submission.

...

When assessing grades for group assignments, the grade given for the group automatically populates to all of the members for the group. However, instructors can change the grades for individual students, and students only see the grade they receive.
