The Quality of Integration


When teachers from two domains cooperate in the design, delivery, and assessment of a project, each domain earns a point in the SUM row of the scoring table. However, this score does not reflect the quality of the integration achieved in the project.

While we do not have an explicit guideline for the quality of a link, we do consider it to be of crucial importance. The main goal should be to indicate the synergy of the domain aspects of the project: how is each essential to the other, and how is the whole greater than the sum of the parts.
