GCI is a course that challenges students tackle broad issues in teams within their first 2 years at Chapman University A survey was sent out to students enrolled in their last semester (GCI 250) to gather anonymous information regarding when and why people switch groups, as well as their overall satisfaction with the course The survey results showed that many people left their teams between GCI 150-200 due to faulty group dynamics but between GCI 200-250 the reason for switching was scheduling conflict Future directions would include delivering the raw data from the surveys to Dr. Goldsmith and Rebecca Green and send out follow up surveys for students to elaborate on their GCI experience and provide suggestions for its improvement.
