In today's world much of what is done happens through some sort of team activity.  When it happens successfully, individuals come to the team effort well prepared to make a creative contribution.  They participate willingly and respond sensitively to each others points of view.  We forgo negative and judgmental comments, hoping to keep everybody contributing actively. 

Diversity can create synergy
We all have our unique contributions to make in a team situation, and some of the most creative ideas can emerge if diverse group members take a positive and helpful stance to learn from each other and teach each other whatever they can.  In a successful group,  members who come with expertise continue to welcome ideas from other perspectives.

The following are some important categories.  Your ideas about these categories and about the viability of this process are welcome.  Maybe the list can be improved before using it. 



Teamwork Rubric

You may be asked to rank and rate others in the class on the following categories. 
Ranking instructions:  In the categories list, place the initials of the top contributor - other than yourself - in each category.  You are not required to list every group member, but fill in every category.
Rating instructions:  Place every group member's initials at the "Strong, Average, or Needs work" in every category.
