What is group work?

Group work is an important element of your degree programme as it will help develop various team skills which will help you in your future careers. Each individual group member is responsible for the whole of the assessment and it is important that you work as a team and that you are aware of what all the other group members are doing.

Organisation is key to successful group working. You must arrange and attend regular meetings, keep minutes of all the meetings, make notes on what each group member has agreed to complete, and monitor all contributions to ensure they are correctly referenced - this is particularly important for making sure you do not commit to academic misconduct (please refer to the section on Academic Misconduct for more information).
