
Be Prompt.
The agreement has been formulated and agreed upon by each team member.
Team 2 Agreement

Communicate questions and issues early and often.

Members will alert the team ahead of time if unable to make an arranged group meeting
or complete an assignment.

Refrain from turning in an individual assignment in the last minute.

Team will create our own group deadline before the class deadline.
6. Ensuring Fair & Equitable Contribution & Collaboration

Communication is essential! Communicate in an open, constructive dialogue to identify
concerns. Create and maintain an environment of friendly and scholastic relationship
among members so that team members can review and give other members
constructive criticism.

If a team member feels that another is free riding, the concerned team member will
explain what he or she feels the other person should be doing differently.

Team members will work to collaborate. Likewise, no one person should dominate the
collaboration, and if someone feels that is happening, the team will try to work together
to solve it. Issues can usually be negotiated. Communication can overcome most
issues. We do not need to involve the instructor.

Team members will attempt to solve complications before the established group
member assessment

Honesty will be used on the peer-review; the team will not sugarcoat for a member who
does not contribute.
The agreement has been formulated and agreed upon by each team member.
