Warnings
- Team members who just do not contribute in a substantial or meaningful way may be "fired" from the team by the instructor. The fired individual is still required to complete the project (all four parts) alone. This is not an idle threat - it has happened in the past on several occasions. In one case an entire team was "fired" and all members completed the project alone. You most definitely do not want this to happen.
- See special note about staff meetings when you log on.
- The schedule will be followed - there is nothing else to say about this point.
BongoBooks
