B. Strengthen your grasp of the fundamental elements of music through this study.
C. Demonstrate a basic understanding of some of the cultures of the world.
First Iteration
A Disaster. Two parallel courses with little interaction
First Hypothesis:We had merely put the two courses side by
sideWe had not really merged them
Second Iteration
Change from historical narrative to regional approach
Better integration of the course But not what we had hoped
Third Iteration
Reality Strikes We could bring the two halves of the
course closer together, but it would never be a team project
Two different sets of responsibilitiesWorld Music CourseHistory GE Course
Organizational Models
Katzenbach and Smith: The Wisdom of Teams (1993)Working GroupsTeams
Pseudo Teams Potential Team Real Team High Performance Teams
Working Group
Individual Accountability Performance depends on individual
performance
Team
Each individual contributes to the work of the whole
The whole group is responsible for the end product.
Pseudo-team
Not focused on collective performance Not really trying to be a team Interactions detract individual performance
without any team benefit
“Team” Taught Courses
Really “Working Group” Courses For Example:
Course made of a series of guest lectures
Why couldn’t Lyon and I act as a team?
World Music Year One
World Music Year Two

Limits to Shared Responsibility
Lyon had his commitments to the music portion of the course.
I had my commitments to the General Ed portion of the course.
I could not integrate all of what he had to cover into the history portion
He could not integrate all of what I had cover into the music portion
We could never be a team
Partnership
Working Groups and Teams have a single set of outcomes.
Partnerships have at least two distinct sets of outcomes.
Unlike Working Groups, some outcomes are joint responsibility
Unlike Teams, some outcomes are individual responsibility
Partnership
Team benefits in the areas of overlap. Working Groups benefits in the areas of
individual responsibility. Sometimes, partnerships are the best
option.
