re: I have a hard time distinguishing between collaborative student work in the library, study hall or the telephone and doing the same within a Facebook group.
There IS a difference. Tutors and teachers, and study groups do not give answers.
On-line groups, just like "essay writing services", give answers. Good tutors and study groups assist students in arriving at an answer. It is a difference between the destination and the journey.
The prof specifically said do it independently and we do not know why, but it may be for the purposes of assessing prior student knowledge, or the mastery of lessons, for assigning marks, or to help the student understand his/her failings, or to help the prof figure out what else should be included or missing in the curriculum or what needs to be retaught.
Student assessment is different from student learning.
