•Remarks:
GENERAL INFORMATION
• There are a few things you must note:
– Take writing of every group report seriously because
that can move you from a lower grade to a higher one
– Make sure you submit all reports on time
– You are going to be working in groups so everyone
should contribute to make the group achieve their
goal.
– Lets listen to this story
GENERAL INFORMATION
Whose job is it anyway?
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Moral of the story:
– Develop the healthy culture of accountability
and good team work.
– Everyone in the group should do their bit and
not expect others to do it otherwise nothing
gets done and vice versa.
– In the end you would all be graded equally and
your grades may suffer
