written by Neville W. Reay, Lei Bao, Gordon Baugh, and Rasil Warnakulasooriya

Group work expanded to include a "business-style" approach was introduced into the middle quarter of a year-long physics class for Freshman Engineering Honors students. Voting Machines were used during lectures as a means of strengthening group cohesiveness. Results are presented for end-of-quarter surveys and an "outside of class" project that involved separate interviews with each group.
