Ask students about their prior experience with group work. If they're good at it and enjoy it, you should have few problems. If they hate it, find out why: a likely reason is they were never taught teamwork, just thrown together and told to do it. So consider teaching how to organize and assemble a group project effectively, and monitor the progress so you can respond if they start making mistakes.
Giving individual grades is a good idea.
I'll keep an eye out for the core rulebook as well as the Serenity book.
