To emulate the real world, I would suggest something where students
have to modify code written by others (perhaps different students
in the earlier parts of the class) without participation of those
others.

I could envision grading schemes that involve not just how well a
given student does but how their team does, and how the successor
team does with code written by the team that student was on in the
first place.
