Group Norms Research Project

Communications and meetings

Will communicate mainly through text. Meetings can be mainly on zoom, but should meet in person once in a while to flesh things out.

Expected response time: as soon as you have time or get the chance

Try to schedule meetings so that everyone can make them, if something comes up we can fill them in after

Try to schedule things so that we don’t have to worry about the project during busy times

Work Distribution

Try and assign different parts of assignment based on skill sets

If someone needs help with their part they should reach out. If they are busy we can be flexible, but don’t just blow off assignments. If someone doesn’t understand how to do their part we can help each other during meetings.

Decision Making

When we disagree we will examine all angles and compromise when needed. Everyone doesn’t need to agree 100%, but if someone strongly disagrees we won’t go forward. With only 4 people, it will be easy to make sure everyone is heard.

Conflict Resolution

We will raise concerns either over text or at meetings. If someone isn’t pulling weight we will give them another chance. If same person blows off assignment or doesn’t communicate within reasonable time table twice then we will begin considering involving TA or professor.
