This “large project” (also known as the “final design project”) would be conducted over the last six to seven weeks of the semester.Small Team FormatBy working in smaller teams at the start of the semester, individuals gain immediate ownership ofthe technical knowledge required to tackle the larger, complex final project. The smaller teams alsobegin to work in larger groups by being paired with other teams for the last one or two short projects.This procedure allows for a ‘growing’ of teamwork and planning in intermediate-sized groups,before being finally organized into a single, large megateam for the final

Occasional glances through advisees’ transcript during times of course registration andacademic planning reveal the extent to which this has occurred. For years, the faculty hasdiscussed stiffening graduation requirements in an effort to help students understand that needingto repeat a course should not be taken lightly.

The major problem we have identified isthat students put different amounts of effort into reading and commenting on other students’drafts, which results in some students receiving very little or unhelpful feedback. Sometimes astudent will not submit a draft, which affects not only that student (i.e., they do not receivefeedback from peer
