We want all students to earn all of this teamwork credit. That means we want each of you to be a respectful, considerate, helpful, earnest and hard-working member of your project group. As your fellow group members are in the best position to judge whether or not you satisfy these goals, they will help determine how much of this credit you earn.

At the end of the quarter, you will be given an opportunity to recommend that less than full credit should be awarded to any of your fellow group members. This teamwork credit recommendation form may only be submitted from Friday, June 8, through Tuesday, June 12 (the form is inactive at other times).

We strongly urge you to avoid the need to make any recommendations at all - in that case, you implicitly recommend that all group members earn the full credit. Please try your best to solve teamwork problems by discussing them, by compromising as necessary, and by whatever other teamwork skills you have learned. Consider submitting a recommendation to be a "last resort" measure, only in cases that truly cannot be solved a better way.

Your recommendations will be seriously considered when grades are assigned, but they are not binding.
