Group Work: Keys to Getting Lemonade Instead of Lemons.

CAUTION: Group assignments can and, all too often, do more harm than good.  When students feel like they have to choose between doing more than their fair share of the work or risk getting a bad grade, the real cause usually isn’t the students—it’s almost always what the teacher is asking them to do. In addition, even if they turn in a high quality product, many students will leave the experience with negative attitudes about group work that are likely to limit their ability to adapt to today’s team-oriented workplace environments.  The only real solution to the problem is creating conditions that prevent the problem from happening in the first place and, in this session, you will learn about how to do it.
