F7’s dramatic drop inperformance during Milestone 3, while maintaining no deviations in peer review data, may indicate aprearranged agreement among members. F4 presents a subtler case, with no single milestone showingsignificant performance deviation that might reveal team inequities hidden by internal agreement, evenshowing a later increase in performance.

during the class session before each exam. In theactivity, students compete in teams to answer questions quickly. Background music plays forapproximately 1 minute while the teams work to find the correct response. Teams must agree onan answer and turn it in before the music stops. No points are awarded for late or incorrectresponses. Correct responses earn the number of points the team wagered on that response,usually indicating the level of confidence they have in their answer. During the first half, teamscan wager 5, 3, or 1 point(s) once in each round of three questions. During the second half, thewagers change to 6, 4, or 2 points per question per round. Points are recorded in a spreadsheet,and team point totals are announced at half-time
