[game_edu] Evaluating individual students on semester long

[Robert R. Kessler]

Casey makes an excellent point.  Our team sizes range from 10 to 15 as we attempt to create an environment which causes more team issues to surface, make leadership more important, and ultimately make something that is more like the real world (about the only thing that we could do better would be to have our student teams work with teams from some other location, which would certainly increase the realism).   When we have small teams, the issues are much less difficult.  

BTW - Thanks to everyone for all of your suggestions and pointing out the research.  We really appreciate it.

Bob.
