TBers,

I would like to put my students into small “groups” this semester to work on a final project.  I’ve done this before with various levels of success.  I worry about group compatibility, assessing their work as a group and individually, etc.  Can folks on this list tell me what they’ve done that has worked (and not worked)?  

How did you form the groups?
How do you keep the groups functional?
How did you assess the groups work? (and the individuals work)?

Thanks.
