| Group work is a vital component of college education. It is often challenging to execute effectively, and many students are predisposed to dislike it. Fortunately, our friend Tracie Addy, along with Wendy Hill, have developed valuable resources for both students and instructors to better navigate this essential pedagogical tool.
The student guide is crafted for groups to utilize collaboratively at the beginning of a long-term class project. It includes exercises for team-building and addresses common challenges such as domination, ghosting, freeloading, and group think, offering strategies to overcome these issues. The instructor guide provides faculty with a detailed framework to improve group work in their courses by promoting student empowerment and enhancing team dynamics, which are essential for projects that range from capstone assignments to community engagements.
