February 22: Request for partners if you want help
February 29: Group membership and initial progress report
March 11: Final Report

A contract for consultation from Wellbuilt Design and Construction (adapted from assignment by Gavin LaRose, University of Michigan).

You are to self-select groups of two to three students. You must inform me of your group membership by February 29 when you make your initial progress report. If you want assistance finding group members please let me know by the end of this week (February 22!)

The students are often apprehensive about the grading of group projects, but you get to determine the distribution of the points for your group. For example, if your group of three receives 50 on an assignment, then you have a total of 3 x 50 = 150 points to distribute among yourselves. You fill out a form, sign it, and return it to me. For the most part, the students split the points evenly, occassionally they allocate the points differently.

I will use the same grading rubric from last assignment. As always, I recommend mathematical writing advice from  Annalisa Crannell at Franklin & Marshall College.
