It’s no wonder employers highly value college grads that are already good team players (Finley, 2021), not only because the ability to collaborate is key to professional success but also because developing this skill set is no easy task. As faculty, we know this all too well! I don’t think I’ve met a faculty member who doesn’t have multiple stories about the inordinate amount of time and emotional energy they’ve invested when group work goes wrong. Indeed, some faculty have had such negative experiences that they avoid group assignments altogether.

This is just excellent. Practical, thoughtful, and transformative! I am definitely going to be sharing this with my faculty. Thank you, Dr. Mulnix!
Great article – the link does not go to a document containing the table.
Fixed!
This is great and I would love to share it with faculty I work with! Unfortunately, the download button takes me to a fact sheet about Wisconsin Cheesemakers???
And when I try printing this site, the Teaching Professor logo is printed over text on each page.
The link should direct to the correct document now.
We just finished with a group project that bombed. I will use your table to help students in future projects. Thank you!
