You will have an opportunity to form groups during the first class and here are some guidelines. Groups should have five students, each of them bringing different strengths to the table.  To increase the learning from the skills and knowledge that each person brings to the group, groups must be balanced.  For example, groups must balance 6Qs, 4Qs, and MMMs, as well as geographical origins to benefit from cross-learning and multi-disciplinary experiences.
