At University of South Florida, teamwork is encouraged and actually our programs are handed in as one program with multiple names. The way that they assess the achievement of the individual is by giving an oral exam for each person after the assignment is turned in to make sure that no one is just riding along without understanding. It is actually 100% legal to copy code from other programs in our class, because in real life, you use and expound on other people's ideas quite frequently. I think this is a very effective setup for this type of course. You might want to mention it to your college. A contact name you can give them at USF is Grandon Gill, he designed the course for our university as well as a couple of others and it seems to work very effectively and creates a nice balance.
