[nabs-l] Finding members for group projects

[Greg Aikens]

Usually on blackboard there is a way to message the other students in your course.  If you aren't having luck making contact with people in class, I would just send out a message to the other students asking if anyone wanted to group up.  Chances are, others also struggle with the awkwardness of grouping in a class where they don't know anyone and would jump at the chance.
