Individual Commitment

arise
- All members commit to submitting individual work before the internal deadlines and providing feedback
on group work
Other Concerns
- Dana is concerned that her writing won’t be concise enough
- Alah is concerned that her work may be of insufficient writing level and not meet the team standards
- Hasan is involuntarily feeling the responsibility to do all the work
- Mostafa is concerned that he won’t meet the writing standard for professional and technical writing

Conflict Resolution
1. Try and resolve the issue individually
2. If necessary, approach the team manager directly and try to resolve the conflict with their help
3. If the conflict relates to the team as a whole, the team manager will arrange a meeting and the team
will communicate the issue before trying to find a solution together
4. In case the team manager is not able to resolve the conflict, raise the problem to the course instructor

Missed Deadlines
1. If a team member misses an internal deadline, a 24-hour notice to submit the work will be sent out by
the team manager.
2. If not submitted by then, the task will be assigned to a different team member.
3. The course instructor will be notified by the team manager if the team member did not have a valid
reason for missing the deadline. Each member is allowed to miss a deadline with valid excuse once only
(except for high emergency cases).

Unacceptable Work
1. If a team member turns in work that is clearly unacceptable, for example does not meet the assignment
criteria or the writing standards of the team, other team members should report their list of concerns
to the team manager.
2. The team manager will then contact that team member directly and suggest a deadline (around 24
hours) for when a revised copy of the work is due.
3. In the case of any confusion with the acceptability of their work, the team member can seek for
clarification from the team manager who may provide further details about the required changes that
need to be done.
