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...
