Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Group work and team-based learning are essential teaching tools that provide the opportunity for students to practice and expand upon the concepts learned in lectures and reading assignments. Although there are many benefits to group assessment, there are many challenges, especially in the form of social loafers or free-riders who take advantage of the group setting and benefit from the hard work of others. The presence of social loafers in a group can have a negative impact on a group dynamic, create tension within a group, and ultimately prevent other group members from obtaining the learning objectives of the assessment. In this session, participants explore the benefits and challenges of group work, the underlying causes of social loafing, and strategies that can be implemented to discourage social loafing in team-based assessments. The ultimate goal is to encourage participants to include team-based learning in course design and learn how to structure the assessment to minimize the opportunity for social loafing.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
