This presentation by Lisa Bathe, an MVCR instructor, explores the dynamics of group projects in education. It highlights the benefits of collaboration, such as fostering creativity and building social networks among students. However, it also addresses potential challenges, including time conflicts, randomness in team selection, and uneven contribution levels. Examples such as collective bargaining simulations and interactive lessons like "Cracking Da Vinci's Code" illustrate practical applications. Join us to discuss innovative ways to incorporate group projects without focusing solely on the final product.
