Work Groups
I am doing my first work group with one of my classes. Do you have any suggestions for me.
Last quarter at the school I work at, we implemented a group aspect for the entire quarter. We had each group create contract in which each student in the group must agree and sign off on. I found that it gave the students a little autonomy and it held students accountable for their share of the work. I did give them a few examples such as: what's the penalty if a student doesn't show up for the presentation? The students didn't like the idea at first, but as the quarter went on, they appreciated the contract.
