Comment on any things that you liked or disliked/frustrated working within your groups.
We were a group of five so the teams were uneven and not everyone came up with ideas for each station but overall good group.
How difficult is it when people do not contribute to the ideas of the group? How would you encourage students who may be shy or withdrawn to contribute?
