Participation
In order to accomplish the research tasks efficiently and effectively, you have beenseparated into small mission teams. Each member of your team should have an equal share in the workload as well as the responsibility for the project.
General Principles: Everyone is expected to contribute meaningfully to the solution of the problem; everyone is expected to work during the time given in class for the project.
Cooperative Group Participation Rules:
-
Each member of the group will contribute meaningfully to the project. Be willing to share your ideas, facts, and learning issues with your group.
-
Each member of the group will talk to and interact only with his/her group.
-
Each group member will be present and ready to work. You will come to class prepared to participate in discussion and activities.
-
Each group member will do the research or work assigned to him/her. You will locate the information you have volunteered to find. Bring all materials and research information needed as agreed upon or assigned.
-
Each group member will be present for group presentations or their grade will be lowered. If the absent group member does not wish to have their grade lowered, (s)he can come in on their own time and deliver an oral presentation by him/herself.
-
Every student will be non-judgmental of other students' opinions. Listen to others' opinions. Let others finish talking before sharing your opinion or raising a question.
-
Every student will have the opportunity to express his or her ideas without their ideas being attacked. You may not laugh at or attack other people's comments.
-
Every student will ask questions when an idea or fact is presented that they do not understand.
-
Remember that the teacher is primarily a facilitator and not an information giver.
