Gregory's Server@JMMaok @mhoye Definitely true. I recall someone I knew who was in Colorado State's online MBA program a while back saying that some of the most important lessons they learned were from coordinating team projects with classmates all around the globe, with different first languages, and at varying levels of technical proficiency...

 @JMMaok @mhoye Also true. I lucked out by going to a women's college* for my business degree, so there were many non-male peers and strong support from profs, but even then, this pattern was evident, and we had to be very deliberate about how group decisions were made and responsibility distributed... *non-traditional program was co-ed, but still predominantly non-men |

I also like reality-based learning.
In the movie version of this in my head, the male students leverage their slightly greater level of experience and much greater confidence to dominate the technical aspects of the project, blithely ignoring the lessons of cultural anthropology, until the last week of class when the other students roast them on the cultural anthropology and get As.
