Collaboration policy? #7

Open paultopia opened 5 years ago

paultopia commented 5 years ago

Does anyone have a thought on collaboration policies for problem sets? A colleague has a "talk all you want, but when the pen hits the paper, no collaboration" policy for writing, which might work in this context, but... I'm not completely sure.

That seems like an odd way to build a problem set for hands on work; unless you are trying to build some materials for sale. It seems to me that problem set consists of a premise, some data, and a bunch of desired outcomes - IE different things you can do with the data. I see collaboration as a way of building a multi-use problem set.

Aaah, sorry! I meant student collaboration, as in, can they look at one another's code? Just discuss conceptually? Etc.

That's a good question. I think it depends on the assignment and the goal. Also whether you can trust your students not to overdo it by cut and pasting other's work wholesale. In my class there was one section that I required the students to work on together (in small groups). -Warren

Hmm! I like the idea of having some designated group assignments. Thanks!
