Supporting and evaluating team dynamics in group projects

ABSTRACT

Computer science students benefit from working in teams. But working in teams is difficult and team skills are seldom taught. In this paper, we describe mechanisms we put in place for supporting team processes in our group project course. We evaluate the mechanisms and extract guidelines that are useful for supporting team dynamics.
