Professor Shaw
A university is considering whether to require students from different subjects to complete a shared project. Supporters believe this prepares students for work beyond their own field. Others believe students should spend that time developing expertise within their subject. Should the shared project be required? Explain your view.

Students need practice explaining their ideas to people who do not share their specialist knowledge. A shared project would also show them how different kinds of expertise can contribute to one problem.

Required group projects can become difficult to coordinate, especially when students follow different schedules and assessment rules. A voluntary project would attract students who actually want the experience.
