Group supervision in project-based course
Description:
This learning design is related to supervision in project-based course for bachelor students. In this course, there is a mid-term presentation that each group should present their project progress and challenges they have faced during the first 6 weeks of the semester. The peer feedback is used for the in-class presentations. To do that each group will provide some feedback on two other groups. This is already determined by the instructor which group is going to provide feedback to which two groups.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Team work: students will learn how to divide tasks between each other in a way that tasks can be done in parallel.
- Lab instruments and experiments: students will learn how to work with lab instruments, how to use datasheets and how to conduct experiments without daily guidance of the main supervisor.
- Presentation of the work: students will learn how to present their work.
- Scientific report: students will learn how to write a scientific report.
- Peer feedback: students will learn how to criticize other student’s projects and provide feedback through online tools (e.g. Peergrade).
