Group Work

  • Discuss the group's expectations for work quality.


  • Pass out handouts or review the citation style & methods necessary for the assignment. Don't simply assume that all of the group members understand when it is necessary or how to give attribution to other authors in their writing.


  • Suggest that each member keep a research journal for his or her portion of the work. This can be a very important record for multiple-authored projects.


  • Review the completed final draft for citation and attribution errors before submitting it for evaluation. This helps to maintain consistency in citation formatting and remove replication of ideas and content.
