Abstract
The integration of collaborative practices in essay writing within higher education constitutes a pivotal advantage, frequently producing outcomes surpassing those of independent composition endeavors. However, although collaboration is necessary and can yield many positive outcomes, a collaborative effort is not always successful. A paucity of empirical studies has highlighted the causes of the dysfunctions of teamwork in Jamaica. In higher education, participants often express frustration and unwillingness to engage in teamwork because of the various dysfunctions they are likely to experience. Consequently, in response to this gap, this case study explored both functional and dysfunctional attributes Academic Writing participants encountered at a university in Jamaica, as they worked collaboratively to complete their expository and argumentative essays. This mixed methods study collected data from interviews, peer reviews, and a questionnaire. The findings identified both functional and dysfunctional qualities. The results showed that the major functional attributes were clear communication, respect, commitment, and accountability. The main dysfunctional attributes were lack of trust, miscommunication, commitment, disrespect, and limited time management skills. Finally, this paper highlights best practices that educators can use to create and promote functional and effective teams in the teaching and learning environment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
