Learning is individualistic and competitive. Students experience learning in a collaborative and supportive environment. Performance measured on content specific tasks. Students identify, analyze, and resolve problems using knowledge from previous experiences and courses, rather than simply recalling it. Grading is summative, and the instructor is the only evaluator.
Students evaluate their own contributions as well as other members and the entire group.
Students work in groups to solve problems. Students acquire and apply knowledge in a variety of contexts. Students find resources, and faculty guide students to information and resources.
