Complaints of varying types continue to come in from those of you in my classes working in groups. I will admit, group work in any environment can be challenging. But, as I posed in my blog earlier, we don't ask you to do this just to be mean ol' teachers. Among other reasons, we ask you to work in groups because the #1 intellectual and practical skill employers want from recent college graduates is the ability to work in teams (P. D. Hart Assoc.).
