Group projects are a central feature of many classes at the University of Portland. They have the potential to help students learn vital skills about collaboration and group dynamics. Yet, when many students hear the words, "group project" they are filled with dread. However, group projects can be an opportunity for individual and collective growth and learning. The labor can be divided up between members and each person can offer a unique perspective on the material.
Our Group Work Co-Pilots are here to help make sure your next group project is a success. By working with Group Work Co-Pilots, students can learn essential strategies of successful teamwork that will help make you an asset to any group project at UP and beyond.
Stop by the Learning Commons (BC 163) during drop-in hours to meet with a Co-Pilot even if you don't have an appointment.
