  • Avoid standing in front of the students as this can make the discussion feel more like a lecture, which may discourage discourse.

Allow students to choose from a list of possible projects, and have them pursue multiple research questions. This increases the chances that at least one project/question will emerge as feasible.
Establish a structure for peer collaboration and help.
Set aside class time to check in with students when they’re working on large (2-3+ weeks) group projects in order to catch them before they get derailed and create a project that doesn’t demonstrate assignment requirements.
