Driven By Teamwork Prof. Greg Spaulding’S Students Take On A Prodigious Group Project, Kansas State University Libraries

Kansas State University Libraries

A lot has to happen between the day the students receive their assignment and the end of the semester when they present their final project in an Olympic-style competition.
