During cooperative work, students work together on problems and develop both teamwork skills and subject matter competence. The role of the instructor is to evaluate the group dynamic and develop strategies to promote active learning for all team members. Are you challenging the brightest students without leaving behind under-prepared ones? How do you know that all students are participating?

This CIRTLCast will discuss common challenges to facilitating and evaluating group work, and offer proven strategies for encouraging effective problem-solving as a team. Speakers: Rique Campa, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Michigan State University

*Facilitated by:*
Rique Campa, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Associate Dean of the Graduate School, Michigan State University

*CIRTL Cast Series: January: Assessing What Students Are Learning*
This series will provide new and experienced instructors with a stronger foundation in designing classes around meaningful learning outcomes and authentic strategies for assessing what really matters. Each session will include opportunities for practice with assessment techniques being introduced, via discipline-specific case studies for discussion in smaller breakout rooms. This series is organized by Cornell University through the CIRTL Network.
