  • Team member to hold other member responsible for the work they’re assigned during that week, make sure everyone is doing their part.
  • Team member to serve as a “spokes person” for the group. In charge of making sure any questions for the project get sent to the professor or GTA.
  • Teams of two rotate between partners and review each others work.

6)  Conflict Resolution

 

Each team should have a pre-agreed approach to addressing issues that may arise.

When there are problems within our group pertaining to the general responsibilities or specific responsibilities, the following steps will be taken in this order until a resolution is found.

  1. Discuss problems within the group to come to a working solution, trying to make sure all members have opportunity to participate in the discussion.
  2. Hold a team discussion of the problem with a GTA or Professor to find a solution.
  3. If 1 and 2 fail, ask a GTA or Professor to make a decision (arbitrate).

 

7)  Expectations of Faculty and GTA’s

 

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.
