The results of the study demonstrated that living in the learning communityand studying the concepts of intercultural competence while interacting with students of diversebackgrounds allowed the students to develop interculturally. Also, engaging students in guidedreflection helped them to reflect on the intercultural skills that they developed through constantinteraction with peers that requires efficient communication among the team members. Similarly,in another study by Swartz et al.

Other students stated that they appreciatedhaving clearly defined goals in a project as it gave them more structure. This was especially trueon graded assignments. “I like projects more. They're less stressful because you get to like, one, do something you want to do, if it’s like, an open-ended project.
