Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork
While instructors across disciplines frequently rely on group or team projects in their courses, and the ability to work effectively in a team is a highly valued workplace skill, many courses currently lack explicit content or instruction focused on building skills related to teamwork. Students will be provided with a series of short (10-15 minute) pre-recorded videos, in which various aspects of working effectively in a team are taught. Students may be asked to complete short comprehension check or reflection questions related to these videos.
