Group Assignments

Group Assignments can sometimes create tricky situations. Some students don’t always “pull their weight” and this upsets group members that are doing their work and being good contributors to the group. Despite this, Group Assignments are valuable because they help students work together for a common goal. GROUP work is a “professional life” reality and learning how to work in a GROUP will be central to one of the projects in this class. Students who are not doing their share of the GROUP work can be "voted off of the island" and will have to complete the entire work of a GROUP ASSIGNMENT on their own.
