It is expected that all group members contribute equally to each aspect of the assignment from
research to the final portfolio and that groups will meet regularly to discuss their progress
(outside of lectures or design sessions). You will be expected to keep group and individual logs
for lecturer and group discussions during the design hours. These will aid both formative
feedback and marking. Students should make every effort to resolve any potential difficulties
within their groups as they would in a professional environment.
Where clear evidence is presented to the lecturers during the formative feedback period that a
member of the group is not working collaboratively the lecturer reserves the right to give a
different mark to that individual without adversely affecting the other members of the group.
