[quote=Anonymous]I teach middle school and strongly dislike group projects. It is HARD to structure them well, and I don’t have the instructional time to do them solely in class and monitor the participation, so I avoid them. Some of my students complain that I don’t do them, and it’s generally the slackers. When I’m mandated to give a group project (not often, but it happens) I put the hard workers together and let the slackers sink or swim together. They usually end up playing “slacker chicken” until somebody steps up at the last minute. Plenty of my colleagues do lots of group projects, so I don’t feel like anyone is missing out on some vital collaboration experience. [/quote]
