In the $P^3$ learning environment it is each member’s own responsibility to seek a complete understanding of the physics involved in each problem. To do so you must actively engage in the activities and practices of the learning environment. It will not be sufficient to sit back and listen and hope to learn everything outside of the time in the learning environment by yourself.
In many cases some of the group members will have a greater prior knowledge of the subject matter. In this situation it is their responsibility to help the other students learn by explaining and teaching the physics involved. In this way the students can learn from each other and also by teaching the subject the students with prior knowledge can identify any holes in their understanding.
It is also each members responsibility to help keep the group focused on the project and to maintain a good group working environment.
To help guide how you should participate in the $P^3$ we have included some guidelines below about how you should approach class time.
