Unfortunately as will be describedbelow, the trust in explaining a concept did not always extend to trust incompleting a task.Over the two years that the students had to complete their projects, there wereseveral other issues that they faced. For instance, initial task assignments hadduplication of efforts (i.e., more than one team member researching the sametopic). Unfortunately two people did not yield "twice as much new or usefulinformation". It was not until students received repeated low grades onassignments that the duplication of effort stopped for the

This criterion arises from Stevens long tradition of enterprise and innovation that started with the Stevens founding family, which has been incorporated into its mission.
