You may be required to complete some assessment tasks (such as oral presentations, reports or projects) in a group. Although the same presentation standards apply for group work as for individual work, there are additional considerations when producing work in a group.
-
Start early: accommodating the needs of a variety of people may take more time.
-
Make sure you can contact each other out of class (e.g., exchange email addresses).
-
Stay familiar with each other's work: compiling various contributions at the last minute rarely achieves a great result.
-
Aim to be a constructive group member by offering helpful suggestions and listening to the suggestions of others.
-
Try to deal with any group issues within the group, but speak to your tutor or other staff member if there are problems that can't be resolved. Don't wait until the last minute.
-
Ensure that more than one person has a copy of the group's work as it progresses.
-
Edit contributions for consistent treatment and format (e.g., fonts, alignments, etc.).
-
Remember to provide all student names and numbers when submitting group work.
