Hello fellow TBLers

We have had some excellent discussions here about whether to (and how 
to) assess team work. This is excellent formative assessment - that is, 
measuring to what degree individuals and teams are mastering concepts, 
and working as teams, with results helping both students and instructors 
determine how well the learning is going.

But, I wonder if anyone has incorporated team work into evaluative 
assessments - ie final exams? For example, has anyone included exam 
questions in which students work as teams for a fixed amount of time, 
then go back to their test papers to respond to questions based on work 
done on the spot in teams?

There may be notes in the references but I thought I would poll the 
collective wisdom first.

Cheers, Francis
