Jenny,

Your situation is so unusual that I suspect that one (or both) of two things is happening:
1) The teams are too small to begin with (5 is the minimum and 6 or 7 is better)
2) Something isn't going well with respect to the team-developoment process. That could be lots of things but, the most common problems are applications that aren't 4-S and/or not using IF-AT answer sheets.
Am I correct in my concerns on either of these?

Could I have some advice please?  We have currently run unit tests for two of the four module units.  However at the last test we had a couple of teams where students did not turn up resulting in a couple of teams having teams of 3 or 4.  Can you advise how we should handle this if this happens at the next unit test. 

 

Best wishes
