@jakeduhjake @lucifargundam Probably somewhere in between, because this is generally for CS classes.
@peterdrake @jakeduhjake
-your students being broken up into teams---> they need team leads; the leads help keep things going
-have the students discuss blockers to progress, obstacles in research n whatnot
-if the leads aren't communicating with the team, the leads fail; if a member of the team refuses to work with the rest- let the team decide how to proceed with/without that member
it sounds like you have sufficient tools, but i'm still not entirely sure what the problem is, as the topic of communication is broad.
@lucifargundam @jakeduhjake My initial thought was to give them a reading on this, covering both "what you, personally, should do to be a good team member" and "how the team can be effectively organized". My request was for such a reading.
BTW, the "obstacles to progress" are almost always either "we can't find a time to meet with our busy schedules" or "person X rarely comes to class / answers email / responds to texts or Discord messages".
I've tackled the first problem by having the class meet for three hours twice a week, with all coding done in class.

<<My apologies as I dont normally keep material on teamwork. This is the best I could conjure on a whim https://clickup.com/blog/scrum-meetings/

<<I mean, considering this is part of coursework- they have to be able to spend time somewhere to do it. Even if its a debriefing at the beginning/end of class or something...

<<That's strong-arming them into it, but unfortunately I can't help provide foundations to good team ethic and morale sustenance.
