it alone. Do you believe this is true? Why or why
not? Have you or anyone you know ever overcome an
obstacle that you or they believed was
impossible? Did you or they do it alone or with
others? What is or was your initial reaction to
being notified that 30 of your grade depends
upon the successful cooperation of the learning
team?Please remember that a Learning Team
