Individual Assessment of Team Process. 

This semester you have been involved in an active learning process we call "team learning".  I am interested in finding out about your experience and comparing it with the experiences of other students who work in teams.  Would you mind giving me some comments about your experience?  Your responses will remain anonymous.  Only your team designation is requested (never your name).  No individual or team level analyses will be reported with any identifying characteristics!  There are no right or wrong answers to any of these questions, so please be honest and COMPLETE.  Do not leave questions blank, even if it may seem like they've already been asked.  The survey should take about 15-20 minutes.  Make sure you click on one radio button for each question.

First, some team demographics.  Click inside each box and answer!

The total number of members in your group:                         

How many members were co-located on same campus?       

How many members had worked in project teams before?   

How many members had worked cooperatively with someone in virtual space before? 

Your team name/designation (if you have one) or first and last initials of each of your team 
members (2 initials per person please!)

Now that that's out of the way...

The first set of questions asks you about your relationships with other students in your assigned work group.  Respond by clicking on the radio button (marking) the degree to which you agree or disagree with the following statements about your work group.  You can change your answer by simply clicking on another button.
