The modern graduate needs to acquire a range of key transferable skills, including collaboration, communication and problem solving. Group work is an incredibly powerful tool for assessing large numbers of students, whilst teaching these skills, provided it is set up correctly and a positive learning environment is created. That environment needs to foster collaboration to ensure that the end product is a true reflection of the contribution of each individual student.
