I'll take exception to the first example: group work. I loathed and hated group work in college. It was simply and solely a way for people who couldn't hack the course material to manage a pass anyway. This might, of course, be good experience for life, but it's terrible for education.
Research projects could be really, really good if they demand concrete results; they could be really terrible if they are just a way to reward effort without results.
Splitting classes by experience might be a decent idea, although I've heard folks speak positively of one-room schoolhouses as well.
