| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to provide examples for the use of teams in college courses and provides a team project process developed over five years of experience with students at a small, regional, commuter campus. Teamwork is important in management curriculum, but it should also be included across business disciplines. The effective use of teams can be tedious and time-consuming, but instructors can now reduce the burden of team formation and peer evaluation, and even get support to help students manage team experiences. This paper adds to the conversation surrounding team use in academic settings by combining the entire team project process, with examples of activities and technology, into one teaching note, which also discusses the pros and cons of this practice. |
