Do you make assumptions about people? I did…until one day that will haunt me forever.
My students get frustrated with group work when peers don’t contribute in a timely manner. Instead of communicating with their groupmates, they assume it’s laziness, or they don’t manage their time like they should, don’t take their classes seriously, probably were out partying late, etc.
I often know why those groupmates aren’t engaged as much as the others. Life is complicated.
