Learning Objectives

- To help students name and value alternative behaviors they will try out in future teamwork settings.
- To disrupt establish power dynamics within the classroom in order to allow different voices and learning styles to emerge as contributors in the second half of a semester (when patterns can have become ingrained: the same voices start the conversation each discussion, etc.)
