Oh, we already have that.  It's traditional to assign students to groups
in at least ONE course, and to have all-but-one student in each group
slack off and do as little as possible.

Yah, well, that's my objection to the whole Just In Time Inventory. We
have a storm in the midwest, and major corporations indicate that this
will have negative effects on production...  What happened to managing
risks? It's not like storms are uncommon or anything...
