Abstract
The most recent recipient of the JME Lasting Impact Award, “Lessons from the Best and Worst Student Team Experiences: How a Teacher can make the Difference,” by Bacon, Stewart, and Silver (1999) is an elegantly presented examination of how the set of decisions made by instructors regarding team assignments affect student experience. An analysis of subsequent Journal of Management Education articles finds three identifiable streams of research associated with their seminal work: the approach to peer evaluation, the impact of team formation policy, and the importance of team assignment structure to effective learning outcomes. Fruitful areas of future research for more impactful and productive team assignments are offered.
