The following is a general outline as to what we as a group have agreed on in order to summarize the main points for the working agreement and communication guide. Use this outline in order to write your own summaries for the work that must be submitted on Monday March 14th, 2011.

Working Agreement: Team Vision: To work as a unit to reach any and all goals whether they be assigned by the curriculum or ourselves. Measurable Team Goals: To maintain team deadlines and work well collaboratively in order to produce the best work possible. Personal Goals: Each team member should strive to do their best possible work in order to ensure the success of the team as a whole. Individual Commitment: Everyone is expected to complete all tasks and responsibilities on time and to their full potential. Conflict Resolution Guidelines: Any conflicts or concerns within the group are to addressed at the beginning of all group meetings, in or outside of the classroom. Missed Deadlines: All work will be divided up and outlined so that deadlines will not be missed. Unacceptable Work: All work is acceptable as long as it is done to full extent of the individuals capabilities.

Communication Guide: Attendance Policy: All team meetings are mandatory. Any absences should be prompted in advance to the rest of the group by email, text and phone. Level of Participation: Everyone is expected to participate equally and freely in order to prevent a “groupthink” environment. Preparation: Enforcement of deadlines will ensure the group will be prepared to produce the best work possible for anything that must be handed in. Quality of Work: All work is to be done with the highest each individual can produce. Any work that is deemed “inadequate” is to be revised and edited by all team members in order to increase the quality of the work. Member Roles: Content Manager: Lin; Plans what is going to be included in the project Timeline Coordinator: Leo; Plans task deadlines, meetings and duration of meetings Presentation Designer: Minji; Plans presentation lay out of written and oral projects. Primary Writer: Luis; Writes and edits. Note: All roles are subject to change based on expertise of each individual on a certain topic. Timetable: All meeting and deadlines are subject to change based on assigned deadlines and progress for any given project. -
