students (Table 2), whereasmanaged teams did not. Recent research suggests that team performance seems to be positivelycorrelated with the proportion of females on a team [14]. Given that there were only two femalestudents in the ISD course, however, we are not confident that the presence of female studentswas the main reason behind the difference in final course grades between managed andnon-managed students. Another possible explanation is that non-managed teams might have hadstronger students during this offering of the ISD course. The effect of managers on teamperformance is an issue we plan to study further in the future.Defining the manager’s role. Another important issue that surfaced from the collaborationbetween the ISD and SPM courses

this ideatakes form as optional work, where curriculum is designed by the instructor to help students gaina full understanding, but it is the decision of each student how much they will choose to engagewith the content. Weimer’s take on responsibility for learning is that faculty have an unhealthy large shareof the load. As educators, faculty design “rules, regulations, and stipulations” to force studentbehaviors into line with our assumptions about what positively affects learning. The argument ismade that this is a disservice to students, contributing to graduates with little commitment to orrespect for learning, who cannot function without structure and imposed control. However, theauthor believes that Weimer in this instance has
