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.
- Enter conflict resolution assuming good intentions from teammates.
- Discuss problems within the group to come to a working solution, trying to make sure all members have opportunity to participate in the discussion.
- Hold a team discussion of the problem with a GTA or Professor to find a solution.
- If 2 and 3 fail, ask a GTA or Professor to assist (arbitrate).
(While the above conflict resolution plan was provided in the template document, its process has been agreed upon by all group members, and now has been adopted as our official plan for conflict resolution).
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.
8) Team Signatures
Signature for each student is to be included.
