Working as Teams in Group Assignments

Dear Class,

A large part of your total grade for 203 will come from the lab assignments where you will work with a partner or a small group of classmates. Group work is meant to be a collaboration of work, with members sharing equally in the workload. Group members must work with each other at times outside of class in order to complete lab assignments. You are expected to work together to create the presentations you will share during lab. As such, most group members will receive the same grade on the lab assignments. However, if one member accuses another group member of not doing his/her share of the work, then the entire group will have to meet with me to determine the truth of the matter. If the group member is shown to have not adequately participated in the assignment, then that student may be subject to a lower grade than the other group members. Working with others is a key skill in the real world, so please work well with your fellow group members in order to avoid this situation.
