Interdependence allows students to express their thoughts and opinions,share individual knowledge, debate, and use argument techniques to change misconceptions [26].It enables students to piece together individual ideas to build new, more comprehensive ideas.Interdependence acts as the glue that binds teams together, building success by aligning the needsand motives of individuals. This alignment ensures that actions taken by one individual canpositively impact the outcomes of others, encouraging a collaborative environment.

It appears that the lack of in-person meeting for group members affectedthe communication and grouping needed to better accomplish the group tasks. Also, weeklyquizzes were not part of the in-person offering but were done online. Since these quizzes weretimed, frequent and with no due date/time extensions, several students missed one or more ofthem which eventually helped bring their overall grades down. Under this work, no analysis ofretention was performed.Once the COVID-19 pandemic came crashing on the world scene in the early months of 2020,there was a lot of scholarly activity suddenly dealing with the effect of this crisis
