Questions
Are the groups balanced?
Yes. Students are dealt out one by one after a random shuffle, so group sizes differ by at most one.
Can I keep certain students apart?
Not automatically yet. Reshuffle until you are happy, or move names between groups after copying them.
How many groups can I make?
Between 2 and 50 groups, as long as there are at least as many students as groups.
