-220345193675Participation:

Participation by group members will be evaluated based on contributions recorded on the Progress Report on the wiki page and in the final assessment documentation. The Progress Report must provide a record of the names of students who participated in any communications, decisions made, and tasks completed as well as plans for tasks to be completed for the next meeting. No alterations should be made once the Progress Report has been completed during the meetings (do not clear or alter posts made by another student). Do not include names of students who did not communicate, contribute or participate in the meetings. Groups can decide on the best method of communicating off the wiki page between meetings (record details during the next meeting on the Progress Report).

Important to note:

Group members who do not regularly contribute to the group assessment will be removed from the group. Since this is a group assessment, it is unfair if all group members do not contribute their fair share.

If a group member fails to complete an important part of the documentation or infographic, it is the responsibility of the remaining group members to complete the missing sections to ensure that the assessment submission is complete.
