Assignment:

Students will be assigned to groups of 3-4 members and will complete:

A) a Group Written Case Analysis

B) a Group Term Presentation

Team Member Expectations:

Each team member is expected to contribute to the aforementioned deliverables. Each group will elect a project manager and organize

themselves to achieve results. The project manager must ensure that all the individual group members contribute evenly to the project

work, and is responsible for reporting concerns about non-contributing members to the instructor. Non-contributing members will be

expelled from the group and will have to carry out the project on an individual basis. In such cases these individuals will lose 20% of their

project mark. However, individuals may not elect to voluntarily remove themselves from a group. At the end of the semester, participants

will voluntarily complete a group member evaluation to determine if the group mark will be the same for all the contributing members of

the project. Any evaluation claims that identify a low contribution member must be supported by DOCUMENTED PROOF that

expectations/rules were outlined, and that expectations/rules were enforced throughout the semester. Lastly, project managers must inform

low contribution members of the grade reduction submissions.
