Advice on changing groups around

I always pray for at least 15 students, so I can have 3 groups - I usually find the friendly competition between at least 3 groups makes for more fun. I think my advice would be this:

See if you really do have 16 students there on Monday - if so, it is probably unlikely you will lose more than one. I think I would go for 3 groups and do a completely new grouping (rather than pulling from the two already established groups).

A lot depends on the course itself and what kind of students you have.... let us know how things go.

Advice on changing groups around I just started a new course and on the first day of class, there were fewer than 15 students. So I formed 2 teams of 7 students, thinking that some of the students would drop. But alas, no students have dropped and there are now 16 students. We have only had 1 class thus far. Monday is my second class. Should I leave the teams the way they are and just add the 2 new students to the existing groups or should I create a third team, pulling some students from team 1 and some from team 2. The only thing the new team would have to do is create their own code of ethics.

My concern though with creating the third team is that if someone does drop the course, at least one of the teams will then go down to 4 members. Thoughts?
