Although there were not many homework assigned throughout the year, there were many in-class assignments and lab days where we had to work in groups of four to accomplish our tasks. There was no note taking, students were given an assignment sheet containing all the key information you needed to complete the assignment. All students had the opportunity to collaborate with their group members to answer questions and continue lab tasks. Not to mention that if we were unable to answer a question or were unsure of a step, we also had the option of contacting our teacher whenever we wanted help. But before asking questions, the ability to communicate with our peers allowed us to think critically about the issue, thus leading to improvements in our problem solving as an organization.
