Prof. Jassawalla, Management professor in the School of Business, will share her experience, research, and teaching strategies for organizing and managing classroom team projects. This will include discussion on how instructors can help prevent issues such as social loafing (team member slacking off) and groupthink (avoiding constructive conflict) and improve team effectiveness through use of early team building and a peer evaluation system. Prof. Jassawalla's research is aimed at helping students develop their collaboration and teamwork competencies.

Join us for this virtual presentation and conversation about how team projects can be more productive and engaging in your own classroom applications.
