This article summarizes a collaborative learning project for an upper level undergraduate counseling course. Groups of students designed and presented a workshop on a therapeutic intervention for a specific patient population. Each student also wrote a paper on an individually selected topic. Examples of students' workshops, reactions to and evaluations of the assignment, and grading procedures are described. The assignment provides a model for the kind of collaborative work students may encounter in advanced study.
