Students tend to hate group work, and I've come to believe it's because we have an unrealistically high expectation of students' skills at working in a group. Walking the students through the skills which the group task requires, and accurate assessment of their abilities and team composition, seems like a good step in teaching students what group work will be like in the working world (as well as positioning the students for success at the course work).

One of the benefits of group work could be learning to negotiate different expectations about work styles in a group. Recognizing that up front, instead of 3/4ths of the way through the project when the wheels come off, might help students learn better in collaboration, and feel better about group work. I've seen exercises like this used in leadership or "team-building" exercises - there's no reason this activity wouldn't work with a committee or department.

Students dislike group work because we don't teach them to do it well. (Come to think of it, that's why a lot of faculty and staff hate meetings too.) Here's a simple structure which can improve meetings.

I have my students working in groups for lab sessions this term. Admittedly this falls outside the usual scope of what constitutes "group work" (i.e., a larger paper, research paper, project in lieu of an exam, etc.), but I still picked out a few pointers to emphasize when talking to my students about what I expect from them.

"It wasn't until a professor assigned a research project that required collective thinking - and actually showed us how much better our work could be with multiple minds put to a task - that I became convinced that collaboration is a fundamental and teachable humanities skill." Danica Savonic describes a project to have essays from her introductory college writing course published in a pedagogy journal.

The author proposes an innovative solution to small group assignment for a collaborative project. First, students create a resume sharing their interests, skills, and views on group work. Then, students provide the instructor with a short list of their most (and least) compatible partners.
