Expectations/Point System
This project would be a huge undertaking for one person to do in a week-- or even two. But that is not the point. Above all, I anticipate there will be up- and down-loading problems which is why I strongly urge all teams to stay ahead of schedule to give yourselves time to trouble-shoot. Finding time to work together will be another challenge. Plan Plan Plan It is up to all of you in the group to find solutions to the problems you will encounter-- not just one person.
The top objectives of group projects are collaboration and problem solving.
