Brain dump, in the hopes that some bits help:
Group projects are •fantastic•…if they work. But they are much harder to scaffold and manage. I recommend jumping into them if and only if you are ready to undertake the effort it will require on your end. (Can say more if you want.) Absent that work, you’ll end up with muddling, mooching, and resentment. This work is to a large extent a function of who your students are, and what experiences they bring working on teams.
