Importance of Group Project
Relay thinking is an
Individual-group interactive
project, which students have to
think individually, and work as
a team in order to score high
marks.
29
Importance of Group Project
The central idea in relaythinking is to carry on the
criteria and the thinking path
already set up by his/her
partners.
30
Importance of Group Project
Each student will think on
his/her own on a specific topic,
and then pass it to his/her
partners. The other students
will carry on the design
process towards the final
solution and evaluation.
