Read more about the PETS process

There are five (5) stages of implementing PETS:

  1. Stage 1: Before start of semester (setting up)
  2. Stage 2: Start of the semester (starting out)
  3. Stage 3: During semester (along the way)
  1. Stage 4: End of semester (getting over the line)
  2. Stage 5: Reflection and review (where have we been?)

3. Stage 3: During semester (along the way)

The purpose of this stage is to monitor the progress of students and teams, and to mentor where necessary to overcome any team dysfunction. Steps 1, 2 and 4 of Stage 3 are linked, and can be repeated at appropriate intervals.

  • Step 1: Get students to reflect
  • Step 2: Conduct mentor meeting(s)
  • Step 3: Address social loafing
  • Step 4: Provide formative assessment
  • Step 5: Provide hurdle assessment
