What Do Students Really Do in Learning Groups

Abstract

Courses

Group Communication and any communication course requiring the use of project groups.

Objectives

Upon completion of this semester-long project, students should be able to: analyze and reflect upon their own communication behaviors in a group setting, and explain the importance of examining actual communication practices as opposed to retrospective self-report of communication practices. This project also allows instructors to assess students' performance in learning group meetings both inside and outside of class time.
