This project is the second of three group projects. Members of the team will collaborate acting as a self-managed team.

You may have team members that are located all over the world. Working in a virtual environment should not stop the self-managed team from being successful in reaching the final goal. All work must appear in the Group area.
As a self-managed team, the following is the work for which team members are responsible:
setting goals
determining roles and responsibilities for each team member
actively participating and communicating in the Group area of the classroom
completing the agreed upon work prior to the deadline
resolving problems and issues among the team members
agreeing on a final product as a group (consensus decision making)
submitting the final product into the Assignment Folder (each team will submit into the Assignment Folder)
All students on the team will receive the same grade unless a member fails to participate or does not carry his or her weight in completing the project. These students will receive a zero or a reduced grade depending on the level of participation and contribution to the team project.
Teams can consist of 2, 3 or 4 students but should not consists of more than four students. Team members are responsible for completing the project even if a team member does not fulfill his or her obligation of submitting the agreed upon work. The project cannot be completed individually and students cannot choose to create teams other than those created by the instructor. If a team member does not hear from any other member, it is important to reach out to the instructor.
If the project is submitted after the due date, the Late Assignment policy is applicable. No extensions beyond the due date is given to teams.
