MAILING LISTS

Hi Tim,

I agree with the others on this one. My experience is the same as Holly's when the teams are larger than 7.

Hi Tim

I would advise option one.  In my experience, if the teams get larger
than 7, in practice, they tend become two teams apiece and it doesn't
work as well. 

Best,

 

Holly

Subject: Team Size

 

I know this has been discussed quite a bit in the past but I would
appreciate some advice.  I have an upper-division theatre history class
with 25 students.  Would I be better off with 4 teams ( 3 with 6, and
one with 7) or 3 teams (2 with 8, and one with 9)?  The drop/add
deadline isn't until the end of the first week of class so I won't know
the final number until then.

 

Thanks.

 

Tim
