Team
Size/Composition:
Teams of
4 work best; if necessary, a few teams of 3 or 5 students
may be formed.
How is
positive interdependence ensured?
Each team works together to
develop one project proposal, one progress report (which
includes the team design notebook), one final report, and
one application note.
How is
individual accountability ensured?
Individual accountability may be
ensured through the completion of peer assessments or
through making individual members of the team responsible
for completing different portions of the team assignments.
Components of Assessment:
Project grades will be based upon the each team’s
deliverables (the proposal, the progress report, the final
report and the application note) and on any peer assessments
that are conducted.
Team
Skills Needed for Success:
All team members must have the ability to communicate,
cooperate and collaborate; they must also feel free to share
their own ideas and to give and receive constructive
feedback.
How Are
These Skills Emphasized?
These skills are emphasized by the need for the entire team
to work together to complete one final product—the
application note—and all of the steps leading up to that
product.
