Assignment

Overview

A learning team is defined as a group of individuals who work to accomplish mutual goals and output (University of Phoenix, 2014). Throughout your academic journey, you will have an opportunity to engage in learning that will support you in developing skills associated with the University Learning Goals of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and problem solving, information utilization, and professional competence and values. Learning teams involve group participation and discussions; however, the outcome is for the team to submit one deliverable in which every member of the team contributes. While a grade is awarded to each team member, not all team members receive the same grade as grades are awarded based upon the contributions of the team member. Your faculty member will assign learning teams as students will work together to submit one Learning Team assignment.

To ensure full team participation, please complete the project plan to establish Learning Team guidelines for your Partly team assignments. Keep in mind that only those who participate in team discussions and contribute to the completion of the assignment will earn points.

Note: On the title page for your Learning Team assignments, only include the names of the team members who contributed to the completion of the team assignment. Please refer to your Learning Team Charter to review learning team expectations.

Learning Team Expectations

Establish team expectations by completing the table below. Determine as a group, how you will address the ground rules for engagement. Each team member should contribute to a discussion leading to consensus around team expectations.

Ground Rules for Engagement	Learning Team Response	Steps the Team will Take to AddressUnmet Team Expectations
Participation How often should team members meet to discuss an assignment deliverable?	We should communicate at least once a Part, unless there is an emergency. (Eve)	Stephanie: Everyone is responsible for their portion of the assignment. Team leaders will confirm that all members in the group contributed to the assignment equally.
Collaboration How will we work with others to achieve our assignment goals and work through conflict?	By discussing who will cover what part of the assignment (Evelyn).
Communication What modes of communication will we use? Where will we communicate?	We will use our email, text or the campus video conference, and group team messaging.(Evelyn).  Also, each team member should actively communicate through the team thread and if they have had a conversation outside of the team thread one member of the outside conversation needs to post the context of the conversation on the thread.  Substantive responses with research and citations. Please properly cite references	Stephanie: Email. PM, and Text with no responses in timely manner results in communications to instructor for intervention. If unable to reach via email or text team member will be called, if no respond after second check in has passed with no respond member will be referred to instructor for further actions.
Team contributions What are the expectations for equitable contributions from each team member?	Each team member will be committed and held responsible for their agreed portion of the assignment.( Evelyn) Stephanie - Each team member will take one part of the assignment to complete.  Substantive responses wth research and citations. Properly cite references per APA standards. Everyone will be responsible for an equally important part of the assignment determine by the group leader for that assignment	Stephanie: If a team member is not communicating with the rest of the team and not doing their part of the assignment, then the team lead needs to try to communicate with them.  If this does not work, then team lead is to let the Instructor know.
Assignment deadlines Identify the dates in which team contributions assignments are due. (Include dates for draft submission and final submission)	If all parties agree, we should have all assignments submitted to the lead person no later than the Saturday evening before the due date.(Eve)	Stephanie: Please try to communicate in a timely manner to the team so that other arrangements can be accommodated.
Other Considerations Include any other special considerations for this team.	I f there is an unforeseen emergency in one of our team members lives than we will cover for them. Stephanie: We must understand that well all have different schedules therefore we must respect other's schedules and understand that the due dates may need to be changed if a timely notice is given.
