Teaching students Game Theory and collaboration
Why I let my students cheat on their exam.
Why doesn´t this principle work for team projects during the studies, when students are expected to develop software in teams? One factor might be - again - bad discipline and self-organization. Some students (like professionals) are so badly organized that they simply can not contribute to the team work, even if they think they should. The experience described in this Blog worked so well because the students were forced to be at the exam for an hour anyway, so they had no competing projects in the same time. Maybe, software development teams must be organized equally? I fix a time for their meetings and work times, and then they must be there and work. All of them. No excuse. Then, team work would probably be more efficient than any distributed home office work.
