As stated in the Student Code of Conduct, the University may discipline a student for academic dishonesty
which is defined as any activity that tends to undermine the academic integrity of the institution. Academic
dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: cheating, fabrication, facilitating
 COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
MSTM
2020-2021

academic dishonesty, interference, plagiarism, or violation of course rules. Definitions, procedures, and
sanctions for these violations may be found in the Student Code of Conduct.
A minor violation occurs the first time the student has a breach of academic integrity and typically involves
an assignment or activity that does not represent a significant part of the course grade. For example, the
student knowingly and intentionally cheats on a weekly assignment; copies a source without proper citation;
etc.

A major violation occurs as a first violation on an assignment or activity that is a significant part of the course
grade, such as an exam or major paper, or as the result of a second minor violation.
Students are expected to review the complete Academic Integrity policy in the University catalog under
Academic Policies and Procedures.

The University utilizes SafeAssign.com plagiarism detection software. All papers will be submitted to
SafeAssign.com where they will be compared against the entire Internet and against a database of previously
submitted student papers.

Team Contract

To prepare you for teamwork in the business world, you will be assigned to a project team. Your team

will work together to complete the team project required in CISP 600. Submit to your instructor a

completed contract with all team member signatures.

Rationale

To accelerate a team’s development, a team contract is generated to establish procedures and roles in

order to move the team more quickly into the performing stage. This process of generating a team

contract can actually help jump-start a group's collaborative efforts by immediately focusing the team

members on a definite task. The group members must communicate and negotiate in order to identify

the quality of work they all wish to achieve, and the level of group participation and individual

accountability they all feel comfortable with.

Successful team performance depends on personal individual accountability. In a team environment, individuals
are usually effectively motivated to maximize their own rewards and minimize their own costs. However, conflicts
can arise when individualistic motives or behaviors disrupt team-oriented goals. For example, conflict can stem
from an unequal division of work. "Free riding" (i.e. slacking) occurs most frequently when individual
contributions are combined into a single product or performance, and individual effort is perceived as unequal.
At this point, some individual team members may take on extra responsibilities while other team members may
reduce their own efforts or withdraw from the team completely. These behaviors may engender anger,
 COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
MSTM
2020-2021

frustration, or isolation—resulting in a dysfunctional team and poor quality of work. However, with a well-
formulated team contract, such obstacles can usually be avoided.

Team Contract Assignment

Your team contract template is divided into three major sections:

1. establishing team procedures

2. reviewing team expectations

3. assignment of tasks and deadlines

Since the basic purpose of this team contract is to accelerate your team's development, to increase

individual accountability for team tasks, and to reduce the possibility for team conflict, make your

contract as specific as possible: (a) specify each task as detailed as possible, (b) specify each step in a

procedure or process as detailed as possible, (c) specify the exact person(s) responsible for each specific

task, and (d) specify the exact time for completion or submission of each task. The more specifically you

describe your team expectations, roles, and procedures, the greater chance you have for a successful

team experience.

Use the Team Contract template to discuss and finalize your team roles, procedures, and standards.

Complete, sign, and submit a copy of the finalized contract to your instructor by the deadline noted in

the Course Schedule.

Team Difficulties

Once your team contract has been developed, your team is ready to begin work on collaborative assignments.
However, you may soon find that your team is not working as well as you had hoped. This is normal but needs to
be attended to immediately. Perhaps your team is simply not following the established contract procedures or
roles as strictly as you should be, or perhaps you need to change some of the procedures or roles as outlined in
your contract. Call a team meeting immediately to discuss and resolve the challenges your team is facing; do not
delay. Most importantly, be sure to communicate (openly) with the member(s) who are perceived as not
adhering to the team contract

Team members who do not meet their deadlines risk the possibility that other team members will complete their
tasks. In cases such as this, the offending team member assumes full responsibility for the individual loss of team
project points and reduced peer evaluation points.

Uneven completion of work or unacceptable work quality should be reflected in the Peer Evaluation. A negative
rating trend by other team members will adversely affect the project grade of the offending member. A student
will be unable to pass the course without an acceptable grade on this group assignment.
 COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
MSTM
2020-2021

Team members removed (fired) by their team members for not adhering to team procedures and task
assignments assume full responsibility for completing the assignment individually. With instructor approval
members fired from their groups can form a group and receive a new assignment.

The project requirements will not be altered as a result of member removal or non-responsiveness.
Consequently, remaining team members would be required to complete all sections of the project. Therefore, it is
in the interest of the team to establish a working relationship that fosters mutual accountability and support.

Team Expectations (review and discuss)

 Expectations: Team based work assignments provide students with the opportunity to learn methods of
collaboration to complete projects; interacting in much the same way as the work environments. Therefore, team
members must take very seriously, their individual role and contribution to their team’s success.

 RESPONSIVENESS: Each member is expected to participate in agreed upon group

discussion/collaboration meetings (includes returning e-mails/phone calls promptly).
 TIMELINESS: Each member is expected to complete their assigned tasks by the dates set by the
group.
 QUALITY/QUANTITY: Each member is expected to submit work in the quantity and quality expected
of a senior-level course. Member final submissions requiring significant re-writes should be copied
by team members and submitted with peer evaluations. The instructor may reduce the student’s
points based on the seriousness of the lack of quantity or quality.
 COOPERATION: Each member is expected to adhere to the decisions of the majority.
 ACCOUNTABILITY: Members MUST make the instructor aware of members who are not adhering to
the expectations.
 UNDERSTANDING: Any questions concerning the group work expectations and point system must
be discussed with the instructor PRIOR TO THE SUBMISSION OF PEER EVALUATIONS.
 ACCOUNTABILITY: Under no circumstances will a student be able to pass this course without being
an active contributor in this assessment assignment since this project represents the final
assessment of course learning outcomes.
 ACCOUNTABILITY: At the conclusion of the assessment assignment each member of the team will
complete a peer member evaluation. Any member evaluation exhibiting a higher or lower trend
than other member ratings MAY RESULT IN THAT MEMBER RECEIVING EITHER MORE OR LESS OF
THE TOTAL POSSIBLE POINTS EARNED ON THE ASSESSEMNT. This is in additional to the separate
points awarded via the PEER EVALUATION process.

Consequences for Failing to Follow Procedures and Fulfill Expectations

The consequences for failing to fulfill expectations can range from a low point score on the averaged Peer
Evaluations up to and including removal (firing) from the team.

 Poor Peer Evaluation ratings

 Removal from the Team
 A reduced grade on the team project for the offending member
