Abstract

Many professors in computing science feel that group projects are not worth the hassle and complications [1]. Several reasons have been cited: different student schedules make it difficult to get together, centralizing information is tedious and usually hard to secure, and it is hard to monitor group participation. The problem with not creating group projects means students are missing a vital component of their educations. Our panel will discuss how four different professors have incorporated group projects into different classes.
