Group Contract

The way you write your group contract and the specifics of that contract is up to you. All group members must negotiate reasonable terms for the contract and sign the contract, indicating agreement. The group contract should take at least the following into consideration:

• What will the group’s primary method of communication be? (Text, email, phone calls, WhatsApp, etc.) DO NOT use Snapchat as those messages are not permanent.

Our group’s primary method of communication will be through WhatsApp.

• How quickly can group members respond to communication? Take into mind communication type, and other obligations you might have outside of this project such as work, or family obligations. Also consider if you’d like communication time to remain the same over the weekends vs. weekdays.

I think our group members can respond relatively quickly to messages, as WhatsApp is a mobile app on all our phones. Since we use our phones frequently throughout the day, messages can be responded to anytime between classes, work, and other activities.

• What means will the group use primarily to work collaboratively? Will the group use technology such as Zoom, Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, GoogleMeet or Skype to simulate face-to-face meetings? Will the group use Google Docs or Cloud-based Microsoft Word to edit documents collaboratively? Will the editing process be synchronous or asynchronous?

The group will use technology to work collaboratively. We will use software like Zoom or Google Meet to simulate face-to-face meetings. We will also use applications like Google Docs to edit documents and collaborate, and the editing process will be done synchronously and asynchronously.

• Will the group assign roles to the members? If so, who holds what role?

No, we are not assigning roles since we all work collaboratively on each assignment. For this assignment, for example, we had a shared Google Doc, and we worked all together to finish it.

• What grade would you like to aim for as a group?

We aim to achieve a perfect score of 100 on this project because we strive to submit everything on time and work hard on every assignment.

• Type the names of all group members who helped create it/agree to follow it at the end as a digital signature of sorts.
