After completion of a project, the team discusses each member's performance using these criteria. Each team member receives a percentage of the team project grade, based on this assessment by the team.
Students choose their own teams, as long as the class numbers are evenly divided.
If the class does not wish to choose their own teams, teams are assigned by random selection. A team will work together for two projects. During this time, positions are decided within the team, but members cannot hold the same position on both projects. Any questions or problems that arise within the team will be handled by the team leader. The Science Facilitator is a resource for the team leader when help or advice is needed.
