Judi,
With you in that in erring on 'accounting" for group activity performance
via peer evals and using participation for individual accountability from
me. In part this is compensating for my weakness of only being able to
concentrate on one thing at a time :p
I do emphasize that attendance is vital for a-team contribution/team
building as well as b-missing out on opportunities for
application activities to refine knowledge. I have yet to get to my "data
mining" research to do list for the summer, but I am hoping to divine some
correlation between team attendance and average team members' grades. Any
body have any data along those lines ??
Hoping this fall to do experiments with capturing in class group work
products (hopefully with whiteboards and a polyvision copycam) and then
seeing what productive/supplemental benefits can be mined from
teams revisiting their team's work, either as a midterm reflection or
eportfolio project. Again, anybody have experiences on that front?
