Benefits. Same as #4, plus students learn to work as part of team to solve problems and manage projects
that would usually be impossible for an individual to complete.
B. Requirements. Major part of course goals needs to be learning teamwork. All of #4B, plus requires more
attention to group size, composition, task assignment, general group interaction, and reward system.
Majority of course should be team based project(s). More time and attention devoted to why and how to
work in teams effectively, roles and responsibilities of team members, and evaluation of contributions as
part of team. Teams should have at least 5 and preferably 6 or 7 members, and the composition should
be as diverse as possible.
C. Negatives. Similar to #4, plus significant time required to create good team‐based learning projects.
