What will your process be for dealing with group members who miss meetings or who are late? How will you address first time offense and repeat offenses? Will the discussion happen one-on-one or as a group?

 

-Missing meetings or being late is understandable with proper reason.
– First time offense will be excused and we will try to work on scheduling around
everyone’s schedule
– Repeat offenses will be communicated with member of the group alongside
all the members of the group
– If it is merely difficult to meet based on differing schedules we will attempt
to meet evenings utilizing Skype

 

What will your process be for dealing with distractions (side bar conversations, cell phone conversations, etc.) during a meeting? How will you address first time offense and repeat offenses? Will the discussion happen one-on-one or as a group?

– First time: the group member will respectfully and courteously be asked to put
away distracting devices to have an efficient meeting

– Repeat offenses: will communicate to the member of the group how these
distractions affect other group members.

 

What will your process be for decision making? If you decide on a consensus vote, what will your process be for making a decision if consensus cannot be reached?:

 -We will democratically vote on an agreement.
– If consensus cannot be met, we will agree to compromise on other aspects of the
project in order to fairly reach agreement.

 

What will your process be for dealing with team member who does not fulfill his or her team assignment(s)? How will you address first time offense and repeat offenses? Will the discussion happen one-on-one or as a group?:

–       If a group member does not fulfill their assignment after expectations have been
communicated, an extension will be made so that they may be able to turn in
their portion of the assignment in time.
– If the offense continues, other group members will have to step in to complete
the assignment to receive credit by instructor. However, the group member’s
failure to cooperate and meet deadlines will be communicated to the professor.
The amount & quality of work (or lack thereof) will be evaluated by the group
alongside Dr. Jaime Hannans to designate the grade this group member merits.

 

What will your process be for resolving conflict within the group? Will the discussion happen one-on-one or as a group?:

 Conflict will be resolved using discussion and compromise by all group members.
If conflict is due to a group member underperforming, the process mentioned
above will be utilized. Discussion will occur as a group and will involve
respect of all group members and their opinions.

 

List any other applicable group norms that your group committed to:

 It was agreed by the group that constant communication and early deadlines will
be set throughout the course of the semester. Group deadlines will be prepared far
in advance of the class deadlines in order to control any unexpected
complications. All group members agreed to respect the early deadlines and
each others’ opinions.
