Individual Assignment Grading Form: Cooperative Learning Assignment B

The idea of “techniques” is rather vague – however, the concept is from the week 3 required reading – Burden’s chapter 6, pages 151-155 under the formal heading “Formal Groups.” A strategy that has worked for me all these years is to download the book/reading and do a keyword search – in this case, “techniques” took me to the area on groups with the content I was looking for. This strategy is especially beneficial when there is a great deal of material to skim through in order to find specific content. It saves time and effort – it took me about 3 minutes to locate this content in the reading. Keep in mind – although the DQ’s value your insight/experience, the assignments are built around the content – look to the reading for support.
