GROUPS:
Cooperative Learning is the underlying motivation for group assignments. Cooperative
learning assumes that students learn from each other as well as from the instructor.
Students are responsible for not only their own learning, but also for the learning
of the other members of the group. Groups must have no fewer than 3 members,
and no more than 5. While some class time will be given for group work, groups
are expected to meet outside of class time. All work is expected to be done
in the group. Students are expected to come to the group prepared by having
read the problems and thought about their solutions. All solutions from members
of a group must be the same for the group to get credit. An exception
to this is when a member of the group does not agree with the group solution
and the group having seen his/her solution does not support it. That member
may then turn in his/her solution with the initials of the members of the group
on it to show that they have seen it but do not support it as the group solution.
