Do you think the desire for Gen Y's to work in small groups vs individuals is linked to the idea that they are expected to succeed and are closely watched for this success. As in they have pressure/desire not to fail, so feel more safe working in a group setting?

The breakdown of what instructional style each generation typically responds to best is very helpful. It is interesting to me to use a blend and see which students respond to best, when the class is a generation blend as well. Do generations welcome the techniques of others?

Active learning seems like an ideal method! However does it take into account all of the different learning styles? It seems to mostly cater to kinesthetic learners, but I suppose it depends on the actual lesson plan. Some students still may learn best lecture style, but I definitely prefer instructing/participating in active learning.
