Working in groups for tasks
You may, if you choose to, do task 03 as a group project. These are some rules of thumb to follow for group work in INLS161.
- If you choose the team option, let your recitation instructor know who are the members of your team.
- Note who your work group members are and be sure you know them by face and by email address.
- As much as possible, every member of the group should do all the components of the task. Do not parcel out portions of the task to individuals.
- Then, when your team has completed the task, one member of the team will submit that team's task in the Task 03 assignment space.
