 As part of your monitoring activities include plans for an evaluation of the entire

process. This evaluation is different from the one students will do for their

respective group scores. For example, you can give students a short

questionnaire to answer questions about their experiences collaborating or you
can use the Plus-Minus-Interesting (PMI) method. Conducting evaluation will

help you to improve on weak areas and develop new strategies to make formal

learning groups effective.
