Making groups work in the classroom.
Although often part of course requirements, group work can present problems for students and faculty and is not always a positive learning experience. Lack of member motivation to work in a group situation, generational differences between members, and scheduling problems can impact the learning that takes place during a group project. The author discusses several interventions to ameliorate these problems.
