Yeah, I had a similar computing project. And you know what? It was fantastic experience in teaching me how to get other people's butts in gear. In fact, I suspect that's why they include it. Think of almost any computing career - it involves teamwork, and lots of it. I suspect, in this project, that being able to make a team function is the lesson, or at least what's being tested.
If it's any help, I believe that everyone at the end gets to do a confidential questionaire on the rest of the group. If anybody slacked, the rest can finger them. But, most likely, some of them will end up doing the work of others. I certainly did - good intro to real life. Injustice and all.... ;-)
