Why teamwork needs a meta-rubric

Most academics have heard versions of this complaint after a group project. We invest significant effort helping students understand what good academic work looks like through rubrics, exemplars and feedback. Yet when it comes to teamwork, we often assume students will simply work it out for themselves. However, that assumption is becoming increasingly difficult to justify.
