Learning through Group Projects · TOEFL iBT — Write for an Academic Discussion
Write your own response, addressing every part of the task.
Should universities require students to complete more group projects?
Professor: What is the most important benefit or drawback of making group projects a larger part of university assessment? Mina: Group projects help students explain ideas and learn to share responsibility. These are useful skills outside university. Owen: A group grade can hide differences in effort. Independent work gives teachers a clearer picture of what each student understands.
