Team Harmony before, during, and after COVID-19
summary
A large third-year course with ~300 students / ~150 pairs uses a grade-tied weekly two–three minute survey to measure work distribution, task allocation, and talking in meetings and later adds belonging, ideas-valued, and team functioning. Results show a clear drop when classes move online mid-March 2020 (degraded teams roughly doubles from about five to ten), then recovery during the fully online terms, then a modest decline after restrictions lift; instructors use TA interventions and consider GitHub commit counts as objective signals.
