7. Conflict Resolution
Once the team goals, general member expectations, and individual team member responsibilities have been established, candid, non-threatening discussion must be held when the group or individuals are not meeting the agreed upon terms. How will team members above be held accountable? How will team members that are not meeting expectations (not contributing to the team effectively) be addressed? How will team members that are not interacting appropriately with team members be addressed? When is it okay to redefine goals, expectations, and responsibilities? When will UTAs, GTAs, or the instructor become involved?
All issues will be resolved through texts and in person and no one will be kept in the dark about resolutions. We will discuss problems and try to resolve them ourselves before we involve UTAs and GTAs.
8. Expectations of Faculty and GTAs
If a team member fails to live up to this agreement, the situation may be reported to the staff, but the team will still be responsible for submitting a completed assignment. Staff will be available to meet with teams to resolve issues.
