N2 - Project-based course is based on teamwork and most of work is done and presented as a team. Team grouping rule is one of the most important issues. In project-based experimental course Optoelectronic Instrument Experiments (OIE), several different rules were attempted, each of which produced complaints by some students. After several trials of different grouping rule, we realized that there is no perfect rule which can satisfy everyone. Instead of changing the rule, trying to find a way to persuade the students to accept and support their group willingly might be a better solution. In this semester, the project teams are entirely determined by lot and several teamwork inspirational approaches are introduced to inspire team spirit in the course. Our purpose is to find a way to make student learn the interpersonal skill of working in team. Let's do it, not just deal with it inactively.
