September 28,2000 For presentation to faculty during discussion of teaching and collaborative learning.
Teams meet to discuss readings, study in a group, complete group assignments.
One example of a group assignment is the simulated consultant teams to the Finance Minister of the country of Gortonia. I provide the sketch of the country and its profile. One example of a team written essay after several units on African development would be to write on the question. They use my guidelines for writing a paper to help them respond to each other's writing. Later they read each other's first drafts and provide feedback.
