  4. What is the role of faculty? • Content experts • Introduce new material • Design challenging problems for learners • Provide feedback on learners’ progress

  5. Should groups work “in class” or “out-of-class”? • In-class • If “out-of-class” some members may be absent • Decreased tendency to divide up work and do it separately

  6. How long should learners stay together? • For the duration of the course • Periodically changing group composition is “the wrong thing to do” • Takes time for group of students to know each other for effective team functioning • Learners will never discover what a “real” team can do.

  7. Should learners be assigned roles? • Unnecessary and counterproductive to assign roles • Groups learn how to function effectively as teams

  8. Should group work be graded? • 30-50% of course grade • Graded group work fulfills 2 functions: • Incentive to be an effective team • Feedback on performance as a team
