. This is the case when all team members are involved in the decision making process and participate in problem solving activities. Timely accomplishment of goals is greatly enhanced by having an agreed upon decision making process. Avoiding the “paralysis by analysis” problem is critical to the team‟s success. In some cases, decisions must be made by consensus. Once a decision has been reached, even through consensus, all team members must accept, own and support it. Appreciation and celebration for team‟s success is also important. Human beings want to be appreciated and valued for contributions. It is the leader‟s responsibility, in many cases, to ensure that this need is met. Working in a

technology.With this background, it‟s not surprising that many of our students connect to technologythrough science fiction (SciFi). This paper describes a course on artificial intelligence andscience fiction. It has been offered as a general education elective, meeting writing-intensive,literature, and ethics categories for undergraduates, and as a graduate course with semester-longprojects.Artificial intelligence (AI) presents many complex theoretical, societal and ethical issues thathave historically been examined in works of science fiction. The interplay between sciencefiction from the 1950s to the present and the development of the field of AI can be used to showhow imaginative creativity and technical innovation fueled each other. As a non-AI

This theory has inspired the most widely used and researched assessment tools formoral reasoning [19], such as the Defining Issues Test (DIT) by James Rest [20]. However,Kohlberg's theory has been criticized on several accounts, most notably by Carol Gilligan in the1980's as containing an implicit gender bias [21]. Emerging from Gilligan's work was theobservation that Kohlberg's theory was founded on the deontological (duty-based) philosophy of Page 22.1505.5Kant and

For this reason, Cramster website use was first compared with common mea-sures of students’ skills entering the course to determine whether a lack of preparationcaused a predisposition for website use. Scores on both the SAT Math test and thefinal exam of the prerequisite course were normalized; the Z score for a given student’sexam, s, is calculated by normalizing the deviation from the mean by the standarddeviation, or s−µ Zs = .

The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams. Good performance was observed in 2-3 teams for each skill; however, the bestteams were not always the same. No team
