Description

The article recommends that "a collaborative comprehensive group project consist of many interrelated components and be spread across the semester, as opposed to requiring students to prepare the final report, in its entirety, during the last few weeks of the semester". In the study, students completed seven collaborative sessions with predetermined objectives, performing 19 detailed tasks guided by a seven-page blueprint integrated with the textbook. Project information, reading assignments and tutorials should be carefully prepared and communicated in advance.
