Working in Groups

How can a group be fair about dividing responsibility in a big project?

It is important to divide responsibilities among the group members when they have been assigned a large project. At each stage of the assignment, clearly document in writing each person’s responsibility, and the due date in your record keeping sheet (see “Checklist for Problem-Solving”). In fact, you will find that record keeping is a good way to eliminate conflicts, tensions and disagreements about the division of labor associated with all problems, cases or assignments.
