Actually, I would like to hear if others have strong *learning goals *regarding
learning how to be an effective part of a team. I have ideas for learning
goals about content, but a goal is also something like having them learn to
be reliable/responsible/valuable contributors to their team and to handle
team dynamics effectively. I'd like to get together a learning goal that is
measurable in my class and related to functioning in a team. Do others have
ones they are happy with? This might help me figure out how to help them
critically evaluate their team experience better as I backward design my
next course...
